Hierarchy of quantum numbers denoted and classified by Ne, nie, and nio and No symbols. Ne has the highest symmetry in a state with all even ni and nx = ny = nz. nie comes as the next with at least one even ni in a state, nio is ranked as the third with at least one odd ni in a state. No is the lowest in ranking with all odd ni and nx = ny = nz in a state. Bold state means doublet states. It is clear that the increment of nz in charging is much steadier than N.
