pts = Prepend[
   Table[{Re, Im}[E^(k (2 \[Pi])/6 I)] //
     Through, {k, 0, 5}], {0, 0}];

n = 1; Graphics[Text[n++, #] & /@ pts]


To sort by layer and then within layer

order2 = SortBy[pts,
   {N[Last[#]], N[First[#]]} &];

Note that the coordinates need to be converted to Reals for the
canonical order to be the same as numerical order.

n = 1; Graphics[Text[n++, #] & /@ order2]


Sorting from lower left to upper right

order3 = SortBy[pts,
   {Norm[N[#] - order2[[1]]], Last[N[#]]} &];

n = 1; Graphics[Text[n++, #] & /@ order3]
