How about this:

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

ls1 = 
 Sort[ls, Which[#1[[2]] < #2[[2]], 
    True, #1[[2]] == #2[[2]], #1[[1]] < #2[[1]], True, False] &]

{{-(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}}

Graphics[MapIndexed[{Text[First[#2], #1]} &, ls1]]

?
