HTML/CSS sub-submenu

I am having a problem putting a sub-submenu into my html/css designed menu. I have attached a picture of the results that I get from the given code. If someone could point out where I'm making a mistake that would be greatly appreciated. I have looked at everything 2 times over and feel like I'm simply implementing the css incorrectly.

enter image description here

#topbar {
background-color: #222;
}

#topbar_wrapper {
width: 100%;
margin: 0 auto;
text-align: left;
}

#mainmenu {
list-style-type: none;
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px;
position: relative;
min-width: 200px;
}
#mainmenu li {
display: inline-block;
width: 200px;
}
#mainmenu li:hover {
background-color: #333;
}
#mainmenu li a{
color: #CCC;
display: block;
padding: 15px;
text-decoration: none;
}
#mainmenu li:hover ul {
display: block;
}

#sortmenu {
display: none;
position: absolute;
background-color: #333;
border: 5px solid #222;
border-top: 0;
margin-left: -5px;
}
#sortmenu li {
display: block;
}
#sortmenu li a:hover {
color: #699;
}
#sortmenu li: hover ul {
display: inline-block;
}

#sortsongmenu {
display: in-line;
position: relative;
background-color: #333;
border: 5px solid #222;
border-left: 0;
margin-left: -5px;
}

#sortsongmenu li{
display: inline-block;
}

#sortsongmenu li a:hover {
color: #DB7093;
}
<div id="topbar">
    <div id="topbar_wrapper">
        <ul id="mainmenu">
            <li><a href="#">Home</a></li><li>
            <a href="#">Search</a></li><li>
            <a href="#">Sort By &#9660</a>
                <ul id="sortmenu">
                    <li><a href='#'>Song</a>
                        <ul id="sortsongmenu">
                            <li><a href='#'>A to Z</a></li><li>
                            <a href='#'>Z to A</a></li>
                        </ul>
                    </li><li>   
                    <a href='#'>Artist</a></li><li>
                    <a href='#'>Album</a></li><li>
                    <a href='#'>Genre</a></li><li>
                    <a href='#'>BPM</a></li><li>
                    <a href='#'>Release Date</a></li>
                </ul>
            </li><li>
            <a href="#">Add Song</a></li><li>
            <a href="#">Contant Us</a></li>
        </ul>
    </div>
</div>

Solution 
  • #sortmenu li: hover ul

    needs to be:

    #sortmenu li:hover ul

    Also under #sortsongmenu 

    display: in-line;

    needs to be

    display: none;
