How to swap s-expressions with paredit?

Question

I often need to swap s-expressions. How can I do that with paredit? I want to do things like the following:

(list |1 0)
(list 0 |1)

or:

(list 1 |0)
(list |0 1)

Emacs has a command for that by default, it's bound to C-M-t. — DoMiNeLa10, Sep 2 '18 at 15:14
What @DoMiNeLa10 said. At least for the two simple examples you show, I see no need for paredit. Just put your cursor between two sexps and transpose them. (And use C-M-f or C-M-b to move forward/backward over sexps.) But different people use Emacs differently. — Drew, Sep 2 '18 at 22:49
Thanks to both of you it works perfectly. Feel free to post an answer, so that I can select it. :) — Antoine, Sep 3 '18 at 13:38

Emacs comes with such command out of the box, transpose-sexps. It's bound to C-M-t by default.
