restacking

Rearranging the heap

Restacking is rearranging items that have been stacked, typically to improve organization or make better use of space.

In corporate real estate, restacking refers to reorganizing how floors or areas of a building are assigned to departments or tenants: The company restacked its headquarters to put all the marketing teams on the same floor.

The word implies the items were already stacked once and need reordering.
