Ok. is there way to at least rename files according to names in toc.ncx?
toc.ncx as you may have guessed from the name is a table of contents navigation document. On my Kobo ereader, when I look at an epub2, that's the file that supplies the table of contents. For epub3, it is replaced by a XHTML navigation document rather often called nav.xhtml though many epub3 also have a toc.ncx for use by older renderers.

IF the HTML ToC file associated with the html file collection you imported has the files in the correct order, the files will be imported in the correct order. If you just imported a bunch of files, well, GIGO.

See this message thread Importing HTML files with the wrong chapter order and this link to the calibre FAQs: How do I convert a collection of HTML files in a specific order? for a bit more information. Note the breadth and depth first option as this has bit me on the butt on a couple of occasions.
