Can someone explain why the oldest daughter is not the heir here?

[Question]

So this character has two daughters. The title is set to confederate + male preference. So it should go to her oldest daughter right? But the heir is clearly the younger daughter.

The older daughter is not a bastard, is not disinherited, and is infact, the dynasty + house head.

The title screen shows that the older daughter is not even in the line of succession at all.

Anyone know whats going on? I have attached a save.

In CKII under male preference inheritance, younger daughters who had sons sometimes (always?) took preference over older daughters without sons. I don't know if it works the same way, but your post suggests that it does.

Judging from the screenshot alone (I can't check your save right now) I'd hazard a guess that the younger daughter (1st in line) has a son (2nd in line) while the older daughter doesn't. Also, Zabava's sister (3rd in line) takes precedence over the older daughter because she has a son (4th in line).
The older daughter should become the heir presumptive once she has a son.

Hmm after some testing it seems to be because the first daughter is a known criminal and cant inherit.

Younger daughter with children (maybe just sons) comes before older daughter without.

I'm pretty sure that crimes don't impact the line of succession

are the two in the same dinasty?

They do, i removed the adulterer trait and she instantly became valid for succession.

Well, I stand corrected. That's interesting. I didn't notice that crimes can exclude one from succession.

I wonder if that's universal or specific to Confederate Partition. The CK2 variant of Confederate Partition was called "Elective Gavelkind", so maybe this is meant to simulate a known criminal not being chosen to rule.
