reshuffling
New order established
Reshuffling is rearranging or reorganizing—most often applied to personnel changes in government or corporate leadership: The prime minister announced a cabinet reshuffling.
The term comes from shuffling cards, suggesting a new distribution of the same elements rather than bringing in entirely new ones.
Beyond politics, any significant reorganization of existing components qualifies: a reshuffling of priorities.
