recatalog

Sort inventory again

To recatalog is to catalog something again—reorganizing, reclassifying, or updating how items are recorded in a system.

Libraries recatalog books when they adopt new classification schemes or digitize old records: The archive spent two years recataloging its entire collection.

Also spelled recatalogue.
