One thing I'd have taken for granted ...

... everything else aside, shouldn't a two-star always outrank a one star and thus end up being in command of a stack? Well, as it appears, not in all cases!

So I merge Keyes' division into Rousseau's corps. Rousseau is a two-star, Keyes is a one-star. Yet Keyes ends up being in command of the whole! Surely this will give the authorities on proper chain-of-command and precedence something to think about ... ;)

There are some promotion events that might be mixing things up; are you sure Keyes is (still) a one-star?

Sometimes, a 2* general appears as a 1* in the unit division roster

You can check exactly what * is by clicking on the division Nato symbol, look the general, he is going to be sure a 2*, as Rafiki said.

Indeed! But why is he still showing as one-star in the division setup? :innocent:

This kind of erratic behavior in the assignment of the names of commands sometimes happens, that's for sure, and I have encountered them a few times. The last one was a command that suddenly got renamed as "X brigade command" (IIRC it was "Doles brigade command"), when there was a general (not embedded in the brigade, of course) in the same stack (that had other units, also). I forgot to take a pic, sorry. I solved it by removing the general from the stack and reassigning him again to the same stack.
