A method for cell reordering, a method and a related apparatus for cell processing are disclosed. The method for cell reordering includes steps of inserting time flags and sequence flags into cells by a sequence flag generating module, and sending the cells from a source module to an object module; and reordering a multiple pieces of the enqueue information of the cells by a reordering module according to the time flags and the sequence flags. In the present invention, the time for each cell occupying RCB during reorder is strictly controlled, the reorder operation will be done after the occupied time reaches the limit defined in the algorithm, and the demand for RCB buffer capacity is lowered, whereby it solves the significant problem in extensibility design of the multi-stage switch fabric with large capacity.
