How to use a column in gnuplot to separate plots

I have the following data to draw the CPU usage of running tasks at specific time stamps.

cpu timestamp load taskId
0 0 1.0 0
1 0 1.0 0
0 0 0.5 1
1 0 0.5 1
0 65 0.5 0
1 65 0.5 0
0 20094 0.0 0
1 20094 0.0 0
0 40042 0.0 1
1 40042 0.0 1

This is what I use to create the plot using gnuplot:

set key autotitle columnheader
set xtics rotate
#set xrange [-0.5:100000]
set ylabel "CPU Load"
set xlabel "Time"
set key right
set grid y x
#set yrange [-0.05:1.01]
plot 'test.dat' using (column(2)):3 with linespoints
pause -1 "Hit return to continue"

The result is:

wrong result

However, I would like to plot two lines one each for a task ID, using the fourth column. The result should be like:

correct result

How can I fix my graph? If I can also plot two graphs using the first column, that would be even better.

set datafile missing NaN
set offset graph 0.05, graph 0.05
set ylabel "CPU Load"
set xlabel "Time"
set key outside right
set grid y x
set xtics rotate
set style data linespoints
set autoscale noextend
set border back

set multiplot layout 2,1
do for [i=0:1] {
    set title sprintf("CPU %d", i)
    plot 'data' using (column(1) == i ? column(2) : NaN) : 3 title "Task 0" pt 7 lw 2, \
         'data' using (column(1) == i ? column(2) : NaN) : 4 title "Task 1" pt 7 lw 2
}
unset multiplot
