All the whites(neutrals) wire nut or other type of wire connection together.
Homerun(from panel) hot to black receptacles and a short black for switch together.
Black of switch leg to other switch screw.
All grounds together, if metal box then add to ground screw of box. If plastic box then to ground screw of switch.
This assumes the light or something is only powered by the homerun in the switch.
