Double Feature TV Episode Messing up Metadata

The first season of The Outer Limits (1995) has the pilot episode consisting of two parts. This was only during its initial run. For the DVD release, which I have ripped on my PC, the episode is now one but considered the first two episodes by Emby. The rest of the episodes are all named wrong. The second episode is now called what the third episode should be and so on. Filebot just made everything worse. Any help would be much appreciated. I've just started using Emby and really like it so far.

If your media is in DVD order then you need to change Display Order on the Series/Show metadata and Refresh Metadata on the Series/Show w/replace images.

I did attempt to rename the file. However, the first two episodes are one file. I couldn't name the first two episodes appropriately as they are one consolidated episode. The third episode is the second episode. The first episode is the first and second episode. 

I tried to find the file order section mentioned but couldn't see it anywhere.

Rename it to S01E01-E02.

Three-dots menu on Series level>Edit Metadata>look for File order field/dropdown.

It does have something to that effect in the file name already.

Then you only need to change File order to DVD order and Refresh Metadata.

I do apologise. I have only been using Emby for a day. I don't see any drop-down for file order in the edit metadata section. Or anywhere else.

It is at the Show/Series level.  As your image was episode.
