How quickly can a single column of a table be turned into a double column, or any other good methods

Ran into a strange old man who broke me extremely ......
His table in word was in two columns, then I just followed his layout into InDesign.

 

With his original table, the order was to end at the left column, then jump to the right column, and even when he went to the next page, he looked at the end of the column, then went to the right column on the previous page.

When I finished the row:


He again asked that each page require: order left column end, then go to the right column, before going to the next page of the left column.

 

My current approach is to make the form a single text box, the frame is divided into two columns, the form of a column.
Not to mention the fact that the conversion process is a bit of a pain in the ass and Indesgin runs slow after the conversion. Alignment is also a big problem

 

Do you guys have any ideas on how to do this?
Thanks.
