I have this file that didn’t show up in Plex

Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun (2019) - 52 - Can We Make 100 Friends! + The Students I'm Proud Of.mkv

But after some troubleshooting, I changed the file name to

Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun (2019) - 52 - Can We Make One Hundred Friends! + The Students I'm Proud Of.mkv

It was found. The episode ordering on the show is set as “TheTVDB (Absolute)”

Is this a bug?

More a case of bad naming.
Plex has added some unofficial support for absolute episode numbers but your best shot is still using the official naming schema, e.g.

TV Shows  <- the folder linked to your tv show library
  Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun (2019)
    Season 01
      Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun (2019) - s01e52 - Can we Make 100 Friends! + The Students I'm Proud Of.mkv

If you stick with your naming schema, Plex can stumble across multiple numbers found in the file name as it won’t know which is supposed to be the episode number and which is just part of the episode title.
