Morphology

reordination = ordination (transparent) = re + ordin + ation

Adding 're-' to 'ordination' directly yields the meaning of arranging or ordering something again.

Etymology

Reordination comes from the part re- meaning 'again' and ordination from a root meaning 'order' or 'arrange', like the ordinary word order. So for things like files or tasks, reordination is simply 'putting them back in order' or arranging them 'again' to restore the right sequence.
