Adjutant General is a position held by a general grade officer. Major General is a rank. The Adjutant General of the U.S. Army is a Lieutenant General which is higher than a Major General. At the state level, i.e. National Guard, the State Adjutant General is typically a Major General.
Because a Major General use to be refered as a Sergeant Major General which made the Lieutenant General the higher rank.

A higher position than a general pediatrician would be a surgeon or head pediatrician in a hospital. Many medical jobs are on an even playing field and there are few head positions.
The ranks probably originated in the 18th Century as armies became larger. My guess is that the rank of major general was created first to outrank the general of a brigade, or brigadier general as it was later known, and lt. general was created to denote a general who next in line to become as a general as a lt. governor is next in line to be a governor, but I do not know for sure. Today, a major general usually commands a division, and a lt. general usually commands a corps, but a major in the army is still higher than a lt.
they made decisions on army movements and decisions. A shogun is a higher then general position.

General. But I've heard of people calling major generals "general" out of respect. As in if they have 2 or 3 disignations, always refer to the highest. Wouldn't want to call a major general "major."
