With the total weigths in the list sums (sums = Total /@ rawnums) I
suppose various constructions like
VertexCoordinateRules -> ((Max[sums] - sums) ({Cos[#], Sin[#]} & /@
Table[i, {i, 0, 2 \[Pi] - 2 \[Pi]/8, 2 \[Pi]/8}]))
or
VertexCoordinateRules -> ((8 -
Ordering[Ordering[sums]]) ({Cos[#], Sin[#]} & /@
Table[i, {i, 0, 2 \[Pi] - 2 \[Pi]/8, 2 \[Pi]/8}]))
may meet your needs.
