What's the exact naming scheme used for volumes?

For best results, the volume number should either be at the start of the filename, or at the *exact* same place after the *exact* same "prefix".
And numbers need to be zero-padded unless you switch to natural sorting.

Metadata *never* enters the equation (at runtime, at least; with calibre it will just dictate how calibre will name the file on device on send), everything is based on the filename (and/or file timestamps for time-based sorts).
