Grouped by what the number is. Ranking happens only inside the first group.

Numerically exact (1)

Exact diagonalization, an exact solution, or sign-problem-free QMC where that is established: the answer, not a claim about it.

Reported as. e0 = -0.67068192(2) per spin (S.S), L = 12, periodic

Table 1, "Results for different system sizes computed at inverse temperature beta/L = 64 for L > 30 and averaged over beta/L = 32 and beta/L = 64 simulations for L <= 30", column e0, row L = 12. Pauli total = 4 N e0. The L = 6 value agrees with the exact-diagonalization row on square_36_P to 1.6e-8.
