it's incorrect to say . . . in order to redistributing . . . .

The expression in order to has to be followed by the base form of the verb.

eg in order to learn . . .

eg in order to cook . . .

eg in order to see. . . .

if you remove 'in order to', you can say something is key to something.

eg A good diet is key to good health.

eg A good diet is key to maintai
