Align un ordered list horizontally HTML

Question

I have a screen with filters on it. I am trying to align then horizontally and arrange the un-ordered list in columns for 2 each. I tried to give them spacing, clear, display block. The css i used stacks one below another but has all checkboxes/links next to each other unlike columns.

HTML Markup:

<div style="clear: both;">
  <div style="display: inline;">
    <div>
      Value Filter
    </div>
    <div>
      <ul style="list-style-type: none;">
        <li style="list-style-type: none;">
          <input type="checkbox" value="All" />All</li>
        <li style="list-style-type: none;">
          <input type="checkbox" value="V1" />V1</li>
        <li style="list-style-type: none;">
          <input type="checkbox" value="V2" />V2</li>
        <li style="list-style-type: none;">
          <input type="checkbox" value="V3" />V3</li>
      </ul>
    </div>
  </div>
  <div style="display: inline;">
    <div>
      Date Filter
    </div>
    <div>
      <ul style="list-style-type: none;">
        <li style="list-style-type: none;"><a href="#">Date 1</a></li>
        <li style="list-style-type: none;"><a href="#">Date 2</a></li>
        <li style="list-style-type: none;"><a href="#">Date 3</a></li>
        <li style="list-style-type: none;"><a href="#">Date 4</a></li>
      </ul>
    </div>
  </div>
  <div style="display: inline;">
    <div>
      Month Filter:
    </div>
    <div>
      <ul style="list-style-type: none;">
        <li style="list-style-type: none;"><a href="#">Month 1</a></li>

        <li style="list-style-type: none;"><a href="#">Month 4</a></li>
      </ul>
    </div>
  </div>

Try adding float for outer column div's: Demo

.fl{
    float:left;
    margin-left:30px; / * optional for better visibility added space */
}

HTML:

<div class="fl">...    </div>
<div class="fl">...    </div>
<div class="fl">...    </div>
