You can trigger the scenes with MIDI in any order you wish. Is that what you mean by rearrange?

Thanks for the reply. What I would like to do is to be able to "drag" the scenes around with midi commands. It's possible to drag them around with the mouse, but I have a setup where it would be cool to be able to do this via midi.

I don't think you can do that.

What you can do is to select the track you want to move and to use ctrl+ arrow keys to replace it. I think it works in sess view only.

you could use Bome's Midi translator to translate midi messages into keystrokes for instance.
If you trtanslate anyy CC ore Note message into ctrl+shift+i f.i. you could trigger the capture and insert scene function of Live. Do that in conjunction with the usual scene up and down assignment in Live, you could use Copy scene ans paste scene and all that with midi via the midi translator. Is this your idea?
