1. In the **Query** field, enter a query.
- The query field varies according to your data source. Some data sources have custom query editors.
- Make sure that the query returns values named `__text` and `__value` as appropriate in your query syntax. For example, in SQL, you can use a query such as `SELECT hostname AS __text, id AS __value FROM MyTable`. Queries for other languages will vary depending on syntax.
- If you need more room in a single input field query editor, then hover your cursor over the lines in the lower right corner of the field and drag downward to expand.
1. (Optional) In the **Regex** field, type a regex expression to filter or capture specific parts of the names returned by your data source query. To see examples, refer to [Filter variables with regex]({{< relref "#filter-variables-with-regex" >}}).
1. In the **Sort** list, select the sort order for values to be displayed in the dropdown list. The default option, **Disabled**, means that the order of options returned by your data source query will be used.
