Change of membership upset Liberal in new arrangement, mostly (9)

I believe the answer is:

reshuffle

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'change of membership upset liberal' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'in new arrangement mostly' is the wordplay.
'in new' becomes 'res' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'arrangement' becomes 'shuffle' (shuffle is a kind of arrangement).
'mostly' means to remove the first letter (r).
'shuffle' with its first letter taken off is 'huffle'.
'res'+'huffle'='RESHUFFLE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for reshuffle that I've seen before include "Cabinet musical chairs" , "PM's cabinet changes" , "Recycle old cabinet" , "Change members of Government" , "Change round of cabinet post holders" .)
