Reverse bytes / halfwords / words within elements (predicated)
This instruction reverses the order of 8-bit bytes, 16-bit halfwords or 32-bit words within each active element of the source vector, and places the results in the corresponding elements of the destination vector. Inactive elements in the destination vector register remain unmodified or are set to zero, depending on whether merging or zeroing predication is selected.
It has encodings from 6 classes: Byte, merging , Byte, zeroing , Halfword, merging , Halfword, zeroing , Word, merging and Word, zeroing

This instruction is a data-independent-time instruction as described in About PSTATE.DIT.
The merging variant of this instruction might be immediately preceded in program order by a MOVPRFX instruction. The MOVPRFX must conform to all of the following requirements, otherwise the behavior of the MOVPRFX and the merging variant of this instruction is CONSTRAINED UNPREDICTABLE:
