Morphology

reassortment = reassort (transparent) = re + assort + ment

The noun is a regular and easily interpretable action/result formation from the verb 'reassort' using '-ment'.

Etymology

Reassortment comes from re- meaning 'again' and assort meaning 'to sort' or 'arrange', the same root as assortment and like the simple word 'sort'. So, a reassortment is like 'sorting again' — moving items into a new order.
