realign

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

'form new groups with' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'gangster in command' is the wordplay.
'gangster' becomes 'al' (Al Capone).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'command' becomes 'reign'.
'al' placed within 'reign' is 'REALIGN'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for realign that I've seen before include "Change position (of something)" , "Apply" , "Regroup" , "Group or divide on a new basis" , "Change to a new position" .)
