# exchangeSubview(at:withSubviewAt:)

Exchanges the subviews at the specified indices.

## Declaration

```swift
func exchangeSubview(at index1: Int, withSubviewAt index2: Int)
```

## Parameters

- `index1`: The index of the first subview in the receiver.
- `index2`: The index of the second subview in the receiver.

## Discussion

Discussion Each index represents the position of the corresponding view in the array in the subviews property. Subview indices start at 0 and cannot be greater than the number of subviews. This method does not change the superview of either view but simply swaps their positions in the subviews array.
