rearrangement
Shuffling things around
Rearrangement is the act of arranging something differently, or the result of doing so: The rearrangement of furniture opened up the room.
In chemistry, a rearrangement is a reaction where atoms shift positions within a molecule.
The word implies the same elements in a new configuration rather than addition or removal.
