Morphology

reassort = assort (transparent) = re + assort

The prefix 're-' straightforwardly adds the meaning 'again' to the verb 'assort'.

Etymology

Reassort is made of re- 'again' and assort 'to sort', like sort and assortment. So to reassort is to sort things again and put them into new groups.
