I don't have a direct answer: a command to move a buffer to the top or bottom, but this might help: * buff-menu+.el. You can sort the buffers in various ways by clicking column headings. http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/BufferMenuPlus * `M-x bury-buffer' should pretty much move a buffer to the bottom, when sorting is by access time. * Accessing a buffer should move it to the top, when sorting by access time. * See also `ibuffer'.
