If I were you, I would write it all using the article class, then once
satisfied, I would export it to a latex file, make the necessay
changes (article -> entcs, frontmatter included) and then process it
through latex one final time. It is just not worth fighting against
the peculiarities of the entcs class or trying to bring it into
submission: it's just a badly written class.

But I would also suggest that you consider publishing your paper in a
different journal. Elsevier is a toxic publisher and is being
boycotted by many prominent scientists.  See
