They will usually (I say usually because the algorithm is customisable) reseat using the below logic in order :
1) Paid ASRs
2) SSR specific rules (eg. WCHR pax)
3) Same seat number retained (so 1A keeps 1A, etc..)
4) Passengers on same PNR reseated together
5) Window to window, aisle to aisle (Star Alliance status considered first)
6) Front to back based on availability
The program runs automatically as soon as the new aircraft type is loaded so the new ASRs are immediately reflected on the seatmap in real time.
You can change your seat assignment right until closure time via either MMB or OLCI. I recommend using the OLCI module instead of MMB within the last 48 hours as that is directly interfaced with the DCS while using MMB still requires ADL exchange messages.
