You need to build a script to make it column-based instead of row-based.

How about splitting into two files when you process it?  You can have one
file for CPU_0 and one for CPU_1, and that way the differences in time
stamp won't throw Orca off.  You won't be able to graph both CPUs on the
same graph that way, though (I don't think...).
