# MutableCollection Implementations ## Topics ### Instance Methods [`func moveSubranges(RangeSet, to: Self.Index) -> Range`](/documentation/Swift/UnsafeMutableBufferPointer/moveSubranges(_:to:)) Moves the elements in the given subranges to just before the element at the specified index. [`func partition(by: (Self.Element) throws -> Bool) rethrows -> Self.Index`](/documentation/Swift/UnsafeMutableBufferPointer/partition(by:)-33su1) Reorders the elements of the collection such that all the elements that match the given predicate are after all the elements that don’t match. [`func partition(by: (Self.Element) throws -> Bool) rethrows -> Self.Index`](/documentation/Swift/UnsafeMutableBufferPointer/partition(by:)-90pnv) Reorders the elements of the collection such that all the elements that match the given predicate are after all the elements that don’t match. [`func reverse()`](/documentation/Swift/UnsafeMutableBufferPointer/reverse()) Reverses the elements of the collection in place. [`func shuffle()`](/documentation/Swift/UnsafeMutableBufferPointer/shuffle()) Shuffles the collection in place. [`func shuffle(using: inout T)`](/documentation/Swift/UnsafeMutableBufferPointer/shuffle(using:)) Shuffles the collection in place, using the given generator as a source for randomness. [`func sort()`](/documentation/Swift/UnsafeMutableBufferPointer/sort()) Sorts the collection in place. [`func sort(by: (Self.Element, Self.Element) throws -> Bool) rethrows`](/documentation/Swift/UnsafeMutableBufferPointer/sort(by:)) Sorts the collection in place, using the given predicate as the comparison between elements. [`func swapAt(Int, Int)`](/documentation/Swift/UnsafeMutableBufferPointer/swapAt(_:_:)) Exchanges the values at the specified indices of the buffer. [`func withContiguousMutableStorageIfAvailable((inout UnsafeMutableBufferPointer) throws -> R) rethrows -> R?`](/documentation/Swift/UnsafeMutableBufferPointer/withContiguousMutableStorageIfAvailable(_:)) Executes a closure on the collection’s contiguous storage. [`func withContiguousMutableStorageIfAvailable((inout UnsafeMutableBufferPointer) throws -> R) rethrows -> R?`](/documentation/Swift/UnsafeMutableBufferPointer/withContiguousMutableStorageIfAvailable(_:)-73994) Executes a closure on the collection’s contiguous storage. --- Copyright © 2026 Apple Inc.
