23rd Arkansas Infantry

I am confused by the following statements in the Gerdes history of the 23rd Arkansas Infantry

"Organized 25Apr1862 by consolidating Adams' and Hughes Inf Battalions and Adair's Inf Company. The companies were reorganized 27May1862 but the regiment was not organized until 10Sep1862."

I understand that COL Lyle's date of rank is 10 Sept 1862, but when was the re-organization conducted and why did it take so long to get Lyle promoted?
