Ordering the labels

Draw a regular nnn-gon on the unit circle. Rotate it so that its vertices have distinct horizontal coordinates. This is possible because each pair of vertices excludes only finitely many angles.

Sort the numbers as c1<⋯<cnc_1<\cdots<c_nc1​<⋯<cn​ and place them from left to right in this order. Write w(P)w(P)w(P) for the label at vertex PPP. Thus

x(P)<x(Q)⟺w(P)<w(Q).x(P)<x(Q)\quad\Longleftrightarrow\quad w(P)<w(Q).x(P)<x(Q)⟺w(P)<w(Q).

We will show that this labeling works for every length.
