var brandTitle: [String] = []
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// Do any additional setup after loading the view.
groupedItems = Dictionary(grouping: cartItems, by: {$0.itemList.brandName})
brandTitle = groupedItems.map{$0.key}.sorted()
}

extension CartViewController: UITableViewDelegate, UITableViewDataSource{
func numberOfSections(in tableView: UITableView) -> Int {
return brandTitle.count
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
let brand = brandTitle[section]
return groupedItems[brand]!.count
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
let cartCell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "CartCell") as! CartCell
let brand = brandTitle[indexPath.section]
let itemsToDisplay = groupedItems[brand]![indexPath.row]
cartCell.configure(withCartItems: itemsToDisplay.productList)
return cartCell

iOS checks the number of rows before and after a delete operation, and expects them to add up correctly following the change.In your alert action you need to delete your current object.
refreshAlert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Yes", style: .default, handler: { (action: UIAlertAction!) in
tableView.beginUpdates()
// brandTitle[indexPath.section].remove(at: indexPath.row) // or you can directly use this
let brand = brandTitle[indexPath.section]
groupedItems[brand]!.remove(at:indexPath.row)
tableView.deleteRows(at: [indexPath], with: .fade)
tableView.endUpdates()
}))
