What rule/principle states that electrons fill orbitals from lowest energy to highest energy?

The Aufbau principle says that electrons occupy the available orbitals in order of increasing energy, filling the lowest-energy orbitals first. Hund’s rule concerns how electrons spread among orbitals of equal energy, while the Pauli exclusion principle limits how many electrons with different spins can occupy an orbital.
