Ranges help

This is in relation to my sorting algorithm. This is what I need to
accomplish with ranges in the most efficient way possible:
1. Merge sort - This involves copying elements to a temporary buffer,
which can simply be an array, then merging the two lists together. The
important thing is that it may merge left to right, or right to left,
which requires a bidirectional range.
c[] = a[0..$/2];
foreach(a; arr) if(!b.empty && !c.empty) if(b.front <= c.front){
a = b.front; b.popFront();
} else{
a = c.front; c.popFront();
}
2. Range swap - First, I need to do a binary search, which requires a
random access range. Then I need to swap two ranges of elements.
while(!a.empty && !b.empty){
swap(a.front, b.front);
a.popFront(); b.popFront();
}
That's the best I can come up with. I'm wondering if there's a more
efficient way to accomplish what I have above.
I also need to figure out the template constraints. Would this be
correct? Or would this be too much?
isRandomAccessRange && !isFiniteRange && isBidirectionalRange && hasSlicing
