My Alternative Theory:

I think the order of the hierarchy would be Blue, Yellow and White/Colorless Diamond in the Gem Homeworld.

Blue Diamond   is the first because Blue Diamond had already defeated by Rose Quartz (I think) and Blue Crystal (Assuming to be Blue Diamond) is seen the Crystal Gem's Temple.

The War occured between Rose's Rebellion and Blue Diamond. I think the General/Leader between opposing factions is Rose and Jasper or Blue Diamond.

After Blue Diamond was defeated, he/she was possibly replaced by another powerful Gem or by Yellow Diamond.

The Crystal Gems, Lapiz Lazuli ,Jasper(Former) and other old Gems were part/member of Blue Diamond Authority.

Then the present/current Powerful Authority would be Yellow Diamond Authority with some members namely Jasper and Peridot and Yellow Diamond as their leader.

Yellow Diamond will most likely appear in Season 2 and White/Colorless/Pure Diamond will appear in future episodes/seasons.
