The input files should have column headers and the tool should accordingly be able to map it based on the column heading irrespective of what column it is in.
This is really helpful because for users, because as it stands now it is difficult to know whether the columns for coordinates should be arranged as Latitude/Longitude or vice versa unless we see it on the map and realize the points are plotted in the wrong location.
Column headers should allow both long and short names if possible.
For example:
Latitude or Lat
Longitude or Long
Population or Pop
