In the event those org files are part of your org agenda, th= ere is an inbuilt command to do that: org-cycle-agenda-files

C-' =C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0(org-cycle-agenda-files)
C-,=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 Cycle through agenda file list, visiting one file aft= er the other.=C2=A0

=C2=A0 =C2=A0 (setq my-files (reverse r-my-files))
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 (find-file f)))

(global-set-key (kbd "s-<right>") 'my-next-file)
(global-set-key (kbd "s-<left>") 'my-previous-file)

the my-files var is not saved, so the order will not persist when you
close emacs.
