I wonder, how Plex will behave in this scenario:

Movies:  
folder : MovieName (1999) and the fhe files inside:  
moviename (1999) - part1  
moviename (1999) - part2  
moviename (1999) - 2160p

Will plex client app show 2 versions of the movie (1080p & 2160p) or 3 files separately?

It’ll combine the Part1\Part2 into one reference and leave the 4k as another version available to play in the same listing.

Generally, the clients will automatically pick the “best” version to playback in relation to quality but it’s not always great at guessing… but it’s usually not bad. If there’s a 4k and a 1080p and you try to playback on a 1080p TV it’ll pick the 1080p rather than try to transcode the 4k… usually.
