WordPress footer menu floating with height of footer

I’m building a wordpress theme and I’m stuck on my footer menu.

I want to display the menu like this picture.

Footer menu design

The menu items contain sub menu items so the html is like this: 

<ul>
    <li>
        Menu item 1
        <ul id="submenu">
            <li>
            sub menu item 1
            </li>

            <li>
            sub menu item etc
            </li>
        </ul>
    </li>

    <li>
        Menu item 2
        <ul id="submenu">
            <li>
            sub menu item 1
            </li>

            <li>
            sub menu item etc
            </li>
        </ul>
    </li>
</ul>

Like this it puts it vertical on top of each other of course, floating the li puts all the main menu items next to each other.

But what I have to make according to the design is that the main menu item gets to the next column when the div height runs out.

It has to be dynamic otherwise I would have used CSS selectors.

Something with javascript/jquery maybe?

Thanks.

I didn’t think it would be relevant but here is the CSS I currently use which just floats the items left 

.sub-menu .menu-item {
    margin-top: 0!important;
    clear: both;
    margin-right: 0; 
}
#lastfooter ul {
    padding-top: 8px;
}

#lastfooter ul li {
    float: left;
    margin-right: 15px;
}

#lastfooter ul li a{
    color: #000;
    text-decoration: none;
}

#lastfooter ul li a:hover{
    color: #e74d25;
}

  2. You have to manage these with CSS. Try the below code:

    .fl { float:left;}
#footer {
    width:100%;
    background-color:#f3f3f3;
    border-radius:5px;
    -moz-border-radius:5px;
    -o-border-radius:5px;
    -webkit-border-radius:5px;
    padding:5px;
}
#footer .footer  {
    border:dashed 2px #ccc;
    border-radius:3px;
    -moz-border-radius:3px;
    -o-border-radius:3px;
    -webkit-border-radius:3px;
    padding:5px;
}
#footer .footer ul {
    padding:0px;
    margin:0px;
    width:170px;
    margin:5px 10px 5px 10px;
}
#footer .footer ul .listing_head {
    color:#000;
    font-weight:bold;
    font-size:13px;
}
#footer .footer ul li {
    list-style:none;
    display:block;
    line-height:22px;
    font-size:12px;
}
#footer .footer ul li a {
    color:#0152ab;
    text-decoration:none;
}
#footer .footer ul .feedback {
    font-size:19px;
    font-weight:bold;
    color:#375078;
}
#footer .footer ul .feedback_form label {
    font-size:13px; 
    color:#000;
    font-family:"Lucida Sans Unicode", "Lucida Grande", sans-serif;
}
#footer .footer ul .feedback_form label span {
    color:#900;
}
#footer .footer ul .feedback_form input[type="text"], #footer .footer ul .feedback_form textarea {
    width:180px;
    border: 1px #b7b4b4 solid;
    min-height:22px;
    padding:2px;
    color:#5a5858;
    background-color:#cccccc;
}
#footer .footer ul .feedback_form input[type="submit"]{
    height:29px;
    color:#900;
    background-color:transparent;
    border:0px;
    float:right;
    padding:0px;
    font-size:17px;
    cursor:pointer;
}
