Jellyfin pretty much ignores the episode name in your file name. It only cares about the season number and episode number.
As for getting the ordering wrong, many shows have multiple orderings. One for when it aired, another, different, ordering for the DVD box sets. There can also be "absolute" orders, "Arc" orders, even multiples of the same type. Different regions got different box sets with different orders, for example.
By default Jellyfin uses the aired ordering, which often doesn't line up with box sets.
When you open the listing for the show, click on the context menu "..." on the right and "Edit Metadata". About halfway down there will be a Display Ordering drop down. This menu is a generic list and does not dynamically pull down available options from TMDB/TVDB.
IIRC, after you save the change it should trigger it to rescan and rename all the episodes. Make sure to wait a few seconds and then ctrl+f5 to make sure any cached data is flushed.
