Trouble uploading CSV file for layer

Hi there - I'm brand new to MapBox and testing it out with some point data that I have. It has a Lat and Long column. I've saved it as a CSV file and I'm attempting to upload it to TileMill, but getting a message that says: "CSV Plugin: could not detect column headers with the name of wkt ,x/y, or latitude/longitude - this is required for reading geometry data"

Is this a bug? Or is there another formatting issue I need to resolve?

Thanks!

    Try renaming lng to lon. TileMill should probably recognize lng as well, I'll see about getting it added.

    Good call Ansis: Added support for autodetecting lng in mapnik in https://github.com/mapnik/mapnik/commit/37c91425154bcf99a6494764dfc... and updated TileMill changelog in https://github.com/mapbox/tilemill/commit/eace247e859c0046fd831ee72...

    I also tried using a different ID style (no space or underscore) and it seemed to work.

    Thank you!
