How it's used
Focuses primarily on structural or personnel changes within professional or formal organisations rather than casual groups. It implies a deliberate, top-down decision to shift roles or hierarchies to improve efficiency or respond to new circumstances.
Examples
The company was reorganised last year, and many departments have completely changed.
Do you think they will reshuffle the team?

Common mistake
Avoid using this for rearranging physical objects or furniture, where words like 執位 or 搬位 are more appropriate. It is strictly reserved for organisational or administrative structures.
