Cartoon Naming Appears as "Versions" of Same Episode

I’m looking into how files should be named for Plex to pick up cartoons correctly. I was consulting this thread but it didn’t help much Episode Naming Question for Cartoon Coleection

In particular, I’m looking to add my Spongebob Squarepants episodes to my server for my kids. I originally named the files like:
SpongeBob SquarePants S01E02A Jellyfishing.mkv
SpongeBob SquarePants S01E02B Plankton!.mkv

Doing that, they all showed up as different “Versions” of Episode 2, and it’s not easy to tell which is which, it’s just labeled by the bitrate of the file. After consulting the TV Show naming guide https://support.plex.tv/articles/naming-and-organizing-your-tv-show-files/ I changed the first few episodes to be named like:
SpongeBob SquarePants - S01E01 - pt1 Help Wanted.mkv
SpongeBob SquarePants - S01E01 - pt2 Reef Blower.mkv
SpongeBob SquarePants - S01E01 - pt3 Tea at the Treedome.mkv

But it didn’t change anything. How should I name them to have best results? Thanks.

It’s a TV series so look it up on the TVDB and name the episodes as they appear there:

SpongeBob SquarePants - Unknown - Season 1 - TheTVDB.com

This is also a great reference:

Here’s how I have them:

SpongeBob SquarePants (1999) - S01E01 - Help Wanted.m4v
SpongeBob SquarePants (1999) - S01E02 - Reef Blower.m4v
SpongeBob SquarePants (1999) - S01E03 - Tea at the Treedome.m4v

These are all in a folder called “Season 01” that is in a folder called “SpongeBob SquarePants (1999)”

And here’s how they show up:

Thanks. Did that and it worked as expected. Makes sense that it comes from a single source but interesting since that’s not the typical naming convention used during production.
