The process of restructuring or redesigning a system, an organization, or an area.

new order
A new state or new system that has emerged as the result of restructuring.

The word is made up of 'neu' (new) and 'Ordnung' (order). So it literally describes the creation of a new order. The prefix 'Neu-' is very productive and can be placed before many nouns.
Die Firma plant eine Neuordnung ihrer internen Prozesse.
The company is planning a reorganization of its internal processes.
'Neuordnung' (reorganization) belongs to the word family of 'ordnen' (to organize / to arrange) and 'die Ordnung' (order). Like most nouns derived from a verb and ending in '-ung', it is feminine.
Die Regierung beschloss eine Neuordnung des Steuersystems.
The government decided on a reorganization of the tax system.
'Neuordnung' (reorganization) is often used in the context of large, complex systems. Common combinations are 'politische Neuordnung' (political reordering), 'wirtschaftliche Neuordnung' (economic reorganization), or 'die Neuordnung eines Bereichs' (the reorganization of an area).
Nach der Krise war eine wirtschaftliche Neuordnung notwendig.
After the crisis, an economic reorganization was necessary.
Whether the process or the result is meant can often be recognized from the verb. Verbs like 'fordern' (to demand), 'planen' (to plan), or 'durchführen' (to carry out) point to the process, while 'führen zu' (to lead to) or 'darstellen' (to represent) refer to the result.
Die Opposition fordert eine Neuordnung der Bildungspolitik.

reform
Both words can describe a change to a political or social system. “Die Reform” normally implies an intention to improve something, whereas “die Neuordnung” initially describes only a new structure. If the planned improvement is important, “Reform” is appropriate; for a restructuring described neutrally, “Neuordnung” is more suitable.
