My suggestion :
In[1]:= t=Prepend[Table[{Re,Im}[E^(k (2 \[Pi])/6 I)]//Through,{k,
0,5}],{0,0}];
In[2]:= myLess[{x1_,y1_},{x2_,y2_}]:=Which[y1<y2, True, y1>y2, False,
True,
Which[x1<x2, True, x1>x2, False, True, False]]
In[3]:= Sort[t,myLess]
Out[3]= {{-(1/2), -(Sqrt[3]/2)}, {1/2, -(Sqrt[3]/2)}, {-1, 0}, {0, 0},
{1, 0}, {-(1/2), Sqrt[3]/2},
{1/2, Sqrt[3]/2}}
