I don't know relevant keywords about this algorithm.
I can show you visually
Any ideas are appreciated

1$\begingroup$ This reminds me of parts of the Jarvis March algorithm or Graham scan for convex hull calculation. Maybe these articles will give you some additional wording clues. $\endgroup$ – Nobody Feb 25 at 22:38

For each of your points in the field, calculate the red angle:
Then sort all the (point, angle)-tuples by the angle.

Here's a way to sort points by angle in Swift:
let radarSortedPoints: [CGPoint] = points.sorted { pointA, pointB -> Bool in
atan2(pointA.y, pointA.x) < atan2(pointB.y, pointB.x)
}

4$\begingroup$ Just a note, the use of atan2 is not necessary, see github.com/Laakeri/contestlib/blob/master/src/geometry/… for an implementation that is exact for integers. $\endgroup$ – Laakeri Feb 25 at 9:55

$\begingroup$ @Laakeri Isyourspacekeybroken? lol why would you type def something as clear as
complex<long long>to something as arbitrary and cryptic asco? $\endgroup$ – Alexander - Reinstate Monica Feb 25 at 23:37
