the key is to just endure the suffering for like 2 days and then you'll enjoy it.

Chronologically like you would do with anyone else
Atlantis is incredible start there.
UFO is hilarious but realistically kinda crappy, so listen to it last.

friends
sleeping beauty & lanquidity are pretty "normal" jazz albums (and also seen as some of his best) so i would start there if you're not into super weird jazz
if you want weirder stuff, check out atlantis, space is the place, and the magic city

From the first album, like you would do with any artist.
The singles collection is a good starting point. It covers his career from the very beginning up into the mid 1970s. And these are songs that never appeared on any of his albums. But you still get a feel for the many incarnations of his Arkestra, and the many styles they incorporated into their music. After you've listened to that, then, and only then can you really be prepared to start your journey into the amazing world of Sun Ra and his Arkestra.

No one here mentioned pic related but it's my personal fave. Start with Lanquidity though

The only worse idea I can think of is reverse-chronologically.
Jazz in Silhouette!
