Do you need to have all of the last two columns changed if they are not in ascending order? This code does that. All rows could be affected, depending on the data.
Code:
awk ' $4 > $5 {printf( "%s\t%s\t%s\t%s\t%s\n", $1, $2, $3, $5, $4); next}
          {print $0}'  file.csv  > tmpfile.csv

Please note, we are not a coding service. What I provided is the code to change order of the last two columns.
