Re: Convert ***** .CSV file to Metastock format

You can also insert a header line at the top of the .csv file to specify the order of the data. This can be used to specify the order of the fields, instead of moving the columns to match the above sequence. In addition, you may need a comma after each field in the header. I am not sure if space works as delimiter.
Check on Downloader help and ASCII Source File layout. It is very helpful.
