How would you rank James Joyce's books in terms of difficulty?

Dubliners and Portrait are fairly easy. Only challenging if you don’t read literature. Extensive Irish knowledge makes it seem harder than it is

Ulysses and Wake. Schizophrenic gibberish

Are they difficult because you're retarded or because they're bad

Yes.

I read Potrait after reading Ulysses, and Finnegans. I found there are many references in the latter books explained by the former. Things like street names and school names.
