    Hi,

    I'm trying to create a page that shows a grid of staff members brief bios and a link through to their full profile pages. I've set up a Custom Post Type called 'Staff Directory'. So far so good.

    What I now need to do is make the page displaying the brief bios filterable. For example, at the top of the page there will be a drop down menu that says "Filter by Department" then if 'Accounts' is selected only the Accounts team members bios are shown and so on. There should also be a "View All" option.

    What is the best way to achieve this?
    Am I better using Tags or Taxonomies on the individual custom posts for the persons department?
    How do then create the drop down menu for filtering?
    Is there a way to do this with jquery so that the page doesn't reload when a filter is applied?

    Any help or pointers to a tutorial or plugin would be great as I've been scratching my head with this for far too long now!!

    Thanks in advance.
