<darkly> you certainly didn't read this from me!
Note: just because someone wrote something down, doesn't make it Holy or Special or even Correct.
Me, I shuffle briefly after every reading. That, plus their previous order, randomises them. If I use a mint-condition deck, it doesn't matter how much I shuffle them, for a while there are always going to be "clumps" of - say - Wand cards or Major cards in numerical order. Which worries me about the relevance of the reading.
So if you don't know what order your cards are in, in the first place, then you shuffle them, you will get a randomised deck that is more likely to throw out the cards you need to see on that occasion.

I reorder my cards once in a while, as well as I smudge my deck once in a while or I put it under the full moon once in a while. But I don't do it always

I don't do it ever. A quick shuffle after a reading closes off everything nicely.

and I've read that ordering the cards is necessary to reset the energy of the previous reading, specially if reading for other people.

Do you believe EVERYTHING you read? I don't. I believe what seems to make sense. So if what I've said here doesn't make sense, don't do it.
