Nibble Shift Code Help

I have a 32 byte array & I want to shift its nibbles separately.
Means when I call the subroutine, it will shift the upper nibbles of the array left and shift their lower nibbles right.

Did a code but seems likes its too long :( need to optimize

Thanks

Code:
        cblock        30h
        C1,C2,C3,C4,C5,C6,C7,C8,C9,C10,C11,C12,C13,C14,C15,C16
        C17,C18,C19,C20,C21,C22,C23,C24,C25,C26,C27,C28,C29,C30,C31,C32        ;4Fh last byte
        endc       
               
Shift_Left                movlw    .32
                        movwf    Byte_Count

                        movwf    Copy_Last        ; save 1st byte

Optimize for size or speed? A small savings (perhaps 250+ cycles) could be had with minor changes...

More later (gotta run)...
Code:
        radix dec
;
;  shift hi nibble to the left
;
        movlw   32              ;
        movwf   count           ;
        addlw   C1              ;
        movwf   FSR             ; FSR = address C1+32
        movf    C1,W            ; copy C[0] to C[31]
sl
        decf    FSR,F           ;
        xorwf   INDF,W          ; exchange wreg and INDF
        andlw   0xF0            ; hi nibble only
        xorwf   INDF,F          ;  "
        xorwf   INDF,W          ;  "
        decfsz  count,F         ; done? yes, skip, else
        goto    sl              ;
;
;  shift lo nibble to the right
;
        bsf     count,5         ; reset count = 32
        movf    c32,W           ; copy C[31] to C[0]
sr
        xorwf   INDF,W          ; exchange wreg and INDF

        incf    FSR,F           ;
