The left value of the route setting is the part that comes from the URL, the right value is the the one it should get rerouted to.

In your case you would need to swap the strings you chose to:

$route['controller/something'] = 'controller/admin'

But as the controller is named admin, you need to use the following rerouting (following /controller/method/parameter):

$route['something'] = 'admin'

Don't forget to add wildcards.

Here's a link to the routing documentation.
