1) Don't think of it as "switching"; you can level up in either class in whatever order you want, and return between them freely, as long as you meet the prerequisites (Strength 13, Wisdom 13.)

2) There is no "correct" answer to this given the information you've provided. We need to know, at least, what level you're starting from, what domain you're following, what the rest of your party is, and what sort of foes you're facing.

I'd also like to know the aesthetic of the concept. What does going cleric/barbarian mean to you?

Honestly, I'd suggest starting with Barbarian until around level 5 and then going Cleric (I'm guessing War domain?). Most of what you get from the Barbarian is from the first few levels, and this way you end up with Extra Attack right off the bat. If spellcasting is more important to you (which would be odd, considering Barbarians can't cast or concentrate while Raging), then a good cut-off point would still be Level 5, when you get access to 3rd level spells. After that, I'd take the 5 levels of Barbarian for Extra Attack, then maybe continue on with Cleric for more spells, or take more Barbarian levels.
