Hello,
I have a little bit of a dilemma. In my organization, there are many grades within the same designation name. So this makes me and my direct supervisor have the same designation name, though she is much senior and has 7+ years of experience.
How can I explain this to the adcoms? Will this be a problem?
Recommender's designation name same as mine

This should not be a problem. The recommender will already need to answer the context in which they know you and your role in their organization. That is where the details can be explained and that typically comes at the beginning of the letter so there is no confusion. Good luck!

Yes, of course they should - they should accurately capture their relationship to you. If they're senior to you, they should lay that out.

To add to what Bhavik pointed out, mentioning her seniority to you is considered a plus (and pretty essential to writing a good recommendation). The recommender needs a stake in the quality of your work.
Does your recommender have a higher grade, but the same designation, such as Analyst III versus Analyst I? If so, the combination of designation and grade would itself denote the higher position.
Good luck,
