Plugboards are reprocessing instructions that calibre uses when exporting files (Send to Device, Save to Disk, ...). They are setup in Preferences on the "Metadata Plugboards" panel.

If you prepend the number to the title using a plugboard you Kindle will see that as part of the title and it will affect the order the Kindle display when sorting by Title. Instead of the title of a book on the Kindle being, say, "The Call of the Wild", it will become something like "043 The Call of the Wild".
