Thanks for the reply. I come from drupal, I’m used in having build-in or at least free tools for basic CMS functionality. I’ll write down what worked for me and the issues I faced for someone else that may be interested:

I found out how to get a drop down filled with the terms of my custom taxonomy.

$terms = get_terms( array(
	'taxonomy' => 'my_custom_taxonomy',
	'hide_empty' => false,
) );
$select_terms = "<select name='option-term' id='option-term' class='postform'>n";
$select_terms.= "<option value='-1'>All</option>n";
foreach($terms as $terms){
	if($terms->count > 0){
		$select_terms.= "<option value='".$terms->slug."'>".$terms->name."</option>";
	}
}
$select_terms.= "</select>";
echo $select_terms;

Then made a display posts shortcode that would include categories in the class list. I had to make custom slugs since the site is non-latin and I couldn’t get it to display the classes correctly.

category_display="my_custom_taxonomy" category_label=" " post_type="my_custom_post_type" taxonomy="my_custom_taxonomy" tax_term="" content_class="dps-listing-content"

Along with this piece of code I found from you 🙂 in functions.php

/**
 * Display Posts Shortcode, add category classes
 * @see https://displayposts.com/2019/01/03/add-category-classes/
 */
function be_dps_add_category_classes( $classes ) {
  $categories = get_the_terms( get_the_ID(), 'my_custom_taxonomy' );
  if( ! empty( $categories ) && ! is_wp_error( $categories ) ) {
    foreach( $categories as $category ) {
      $classes[] = 'cat-' . $category->slug;
    }
  }
  return $classes;
}
add_filter( 'display_posts_shortcode_post_class', 'be_dps_add_category_classes' );

Then used jquery to filter the list of posts DP made for me. Since each item had its term as a class it wasn’t hard to write the code for it.

Now I need to group the drop down options hierarchically and figure out how to make a template for the linked pages since I require a 2 level hierarchy for the products. I also wonder how this will all work out when I’ll have to convert it to a multilingual site. But I guess all that is irrelevant, so…
