Sorting a view on a taxonomy term with entityqueue

I’m trying to use an entity queue on a taxonomy to create a new sort order for an existing view. But I’m having trouble configuring it.

I’ve created a dummy website with a fantasy role-playing game theme. I have a content type “Monster” with a taxonomy term “difficulty”.

enter image description here

Monsters can have several difficulty tags, but I’ve created an entityqueue for the subset of tags that I want to sort on:

enter image description here

Finally, I’ve created the view for monsters, with what I believe are the properly relationships to join in the entityqueue for sorting. Starting with the Monster content type, I’ve added a relationship to the Difficulty taxonomy term, then another relationship for the Monster Difficulty entityqueue. enter image description here

Finally, I added the entityqueue as the first sort criteria:

enter image description here

However, the results of the view are still sorting on the title field, “Name”, meaning that the sort order of the entityqueue is either not making it in or being respected:

How do I sort a view based on a taxonomy entityqueue?

Edit I removed the sort for the title, as per hotwebmatter’s suggestion, but that didn’t cause it to sort by the entityqueue.

The order should go Big boss, boss, mini-boss, etc., but it doesn’t.
