Electric has a placement tool that can rearrange a circuit so that routing is easier. The tool can handle schematic or layout cells.

To run placement, use the Place Current Cell command (in menu Tools / Placement).

The Placement Preferences (in menu File / Preferences..., "Tools" section, "Placement" tab) let you control which placement algorithm is being used. Currently, the only real placement algorithm is the default one: "Min-Cut".
