reindex
Renumber the entries
To reindex is to create a new index or rebuild an existing one.
In computing and database management, reindexing reorganizes how data is catalogued for faster searching: The database administrator reindexed the tables after the migration.
In finance, reindexing adjusts values according to a new baseline or benchmark.
The term appears wherever systematic cataloguing occurs—libraries, search engines, economic indicators.
