We've come from here related discussion: to rejig and .
Rejig can be both a verb and a noun in British English. Here's my new entry suggestion for the verb: related discussion: to rejig - neu ordnen.
This new entry is for the noun. There isn't so much dictionary evidence as for the verb, but plenty of evidence of it in use in the wild -- 3,000 search results from The Guardian. Very popular in newspaper headlines because it's a lot shorter than 'rearrangement' or 'reorganisation'!
