Yes. Assign an id to each of your features (by using a Counter). Those
will go from 0 to n-1 (where n is the number of features). Next, create
the lines that should go at the top, using NullGeometryCreators and add
the same id attribute to them. Manually set the values to -2 and -1.
Put all the information in the first attribute.
Then sort all your features before outputting them. Sort by that id
attribute and you're all set. You'll probabely want to disable the
output of the field names.
Actually, you may just want to stick everything into a single attribute
and add the column separators yourself (Concatenator). This way you have
maximum control over how it'll look.
