'given another order' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to change as well as being past participle verbs.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?

'soldiers leading manoeuvres' is the wordplay.
'soldiers' becomes 're' (Royal Engineers).
'manoeuvres' indicates an anagram (letters manoeuvred in a new way).
'leading' anagrammed gives 'aligned'.
're'+'aligned'='REALIGNED'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for realigned that I've seen is " Grouped again on a new basis".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
