If there is a queen on the left of a queen, then the two queens are together.

Then, if there is a queen on the right of a jack, the jack must be before the two queens.

If there is a diamond on the right of a diamond, then the two diamonds are together.

Then, if there is a diamond on the left of a heart, the two diamonds must be before the heart.

You should be able to finish from there.
