Obviously you should do it however you think best. I apologize if I caused any confusion. As for legibility, it's obviously subjective. I personally find the "set {x,y} to {y,x}" form much clearer - in the course of reading the longer version I lose track of the fact that we're just swapping two elements of the list. Likewise the "repeat with" loop tells me right up front that we're counting down, so I don't have to decode the logic.
