Try this:

X field is Long

Y field is lat

Don't click DMS - leave unchecked.

Click add and see if those now line up where they need to line up. I tossed an OSM map up there and I'm assuming these are road outcrops - so I feel mostly good about the import.

i have attached a csv file of several points with 2 simple text labels to accompany the x, y positions. when i import this file, i try to import in DMS decimal format.  i specify column 2 as the x and column 3 as the y. when it imports, it puts the points in the wrong spot.  the x column becomes y and the y columns is completely in error.  this should be a fairly simple import, can you please tell me how i can get this file to import properly.  i was importing into WGS 84 so that should not be the issue.
