this feels kind of hacky, but it seems to do what you want:

(setq my-files '("a.org" "b.org" "c.org"))

(defun my-next-file ()
 (interactive)
 (let ((f (pop my-files)))
   (add-to-list 'my-files f t)
   (find-file f)))

(defun my-previous-file ()
  (interactive)
  (let* ((r-my-files (reverse my-files))
         (f (pop r-my-files)))
    (add-to-list 'r-my-files f t)
    (setq my-files (reverse r-my-files))
    (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.
