The process for determining orchestra chair ranking in a musical ensemble typically involves auditions where musicians perform a piece of music for a panel of judges. Judges evaluate factors like technical skill, musicality, and overall performance to assign each musician a ranking. The highest-ranked musician usually gets the first chair position, with subsequent chairs assigned based on the rankings.
Being the first chair in a musical ensemble is significant because it represents the highest level of skill and leadership within the group. The first chair player is responsible for setting the standard for the rest of the musicians and often has solo parts or important musical passages to play. This position is a recognition of talent, hard work, and dedication to music.

I believe there is no word for it, they just tune up. Usually the first chair first violinist, the concert master, will come onto the stage after the orchestra is already seated and the concert master will play an A usually and then the orchestra will tune.
Usually it's the principal/first chair violin, also known as the concertmaster.
In an orchestra, violinists sit at the left hand of the conductor. The leftmost chair is called the 'first chair violinist', and to the right of that chair is the 'second chair violinist'. Sometimes, the conductor turns over rehearsal leadership to the first chair violinist.
The London Philharmonic Orchestra was first established in 1932 by Sir Thomas Beecham. It is currently one of the major and most well known orchestras in England.
"First chair" is a term used in orchestras to designate the principal performer in each of its sections; that is, the principal performer for violas, cellos, oboes, etc. Violins, on the other hand, do no have a first chair - they have the concertmaster, who has special duties in the course of an orchestral performance. Where a first chair is responsible for tuning his/her section, the concertmaster is responsible for tuning the entire orchestra. The first chair for string sections, where two people share a single music stand, does not turn the pages of a music sheet. This duty belongs to the person sitting next to them (sometimes called the "inside" chair). To be a first chair, one must exhibit exceptional skill with their instrument and be a leader to the others in their section. This person will perform the solo parts written for his/her instrument; a first cello (or first cellist), for example, will play the special cello parts unless a special guest soloist is in attendance.
