RE: how to select which view is parent?
Use the view that you wish to use for your new parent to generate new projected and auxiliary views, including the original parent. Those new "chld" views will follow their parent, not their "grandparent". You can then delete the obsoleted parent.
You can move a dimension from one view to another by holding Shift when you click-drag the dimension to the new view. It doesn't always work, but when it does, it saves much time.
I don't think you'll be able to "transfer custody" of detail and section views that belong to the obsoleted parent.
Look into view rotate. You can rotate the oiginal parent and have the children views update along with it. This may suit your needs, as well.
Good golly, that's a lot to say after first saying it wasn't posible!

Or
When making the drawing and inserting your views you can break their alignment and realign the views to make the right or even the bottom view the parent. But you will have to break all alignments and re align each view manaully. There is no quick switch.

I always Insert Named Views to create drawings, and by default, the first view you insert into a drawing is the parent view. I feel I get more control doing it this way.
