Unfortunately, the csv reader in ParaView still needs work.  It's not going to be able to do what you want yet.

You might try converting your data into a VTK legacy file.  They support ASCII data, so it's not complicated to convert a csv to one in a text editor.  Details about the file formats can be found in the VTK books or the document at the attached link.
