renumbering
Changing the sequence
Renumbering is the act of assigning new numbers to things that already have numbers, typically to create a more logical sequence or accommodate additions.
Streets get renumbered when cities reorganize their addressing systems; pages get renumbered when documents are revised.
After the merger, they spent months renumbering all the employee IDs.
The process often causes temporary confusion but usually serves organizational clarity in the long run.
