I am a licensed PT with an EAD not yet started working. My husband is working on an EAD(his h1 has expired). His I-140 is cleared and 485 is pending. Since it's going to take a long time for us to get a GC b'cos of retrogression, we both thought we would start another GC process in schedule-A. When we asked our lawyer, she mentioned about this flip-flpopping of 485's. She explained that once my I-140 got approved under schedule A, my husband can substitute that I-140 for his I-140 on the already existing I-485 applications so that i would become the principal applicant.

Has anybody heard of this before or done this? Is it advisable to do so?
I wo'd really appreciate if somebody can reply.

Your lawyer is correct. Once your I-140 is approved (under schedule A), substitute your husband's I-485 under your approved I-140.
