Put in a new position, with its back to the cooker (9)

I believe the answer is:

rearrange

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

'put in a new position with its' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'back to the cooker' is the wordplay.
'back' becomes 'rear' (something's rear is its back).
'to the cooker' becomes 'range' (I've seen this in other clues).
'rear'+'range'='REARRANGE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rearrange that I've seen before include "Tidy up" , "Move to new positions" , "Make an anagram of" , "Change things" , "Organise another way" .)
