+The generated table will be sorted alphabetically unless the metadata is a :code:`collections.OrderedDict`.
+
+It is possible to redact variables from the environment table. Redacted variables will have their names displayed, but their values grayed out.
+This can be achieved by setting :code:`environment_table_redact_list` in your INI configuration file (e.g.: :code:`pytest.ini`).
+:code:`environment_table_redact_list` is a :code:`linelist` of regexes. Any environment table variable that matches a regex in this list has its value redacted.
+
+For example, the following will redact all environment table variables that match the regexes :code:`^foo$`, :code:`.*redact.*`, or :code:`bar`:
+
+.. code-block:: ini
+
+  [pytest]
+  environment_table_redact_list = ^foo$
+      .*redact.*
+      bar
