recatalogue

Sort anew systematically

To recatalogue is to catalogue something again—typically to reorganize, update, or apply a new system to items already catalogued.

Libraries recatalogue collections when switching classification systems; museums recatalogue holdings when digitizing records: The archive spent two years recataloguing its entire collection.

Also spelled recatalog.
