The function bound to C-x o, other-window, takes an optional prefix
argument. Invoking it with prefix argument -1 would do what you like:
C-u -1 C-x o. Since this is quite awful to type, you could define a new
keybinding, say:

(global-set-key "\C-xp" '(lambda ()
			   (interactive)
			   (other-window -1)))

 From menu:
Options > Customize Emacs > Specific Option
Iswitchb Mode
Turn it on
Save for Current and Future Sessions

This will put something like:

  '(iswitchb-mode t nil (iswitchb))

into the custom-set-variables section of your .emacs

Then, so you don't have to restart Emacs just place cursor after this 
expression in .emacs and press C-x C-e to evaluate it. Or maybe that is 
already accomplished by the Save for Current Session option in 
Customize; I never checked.

Works for me.

Oops! I forgot final step. Iswitchb mode changes the way C-x b works. 
You get a list of all (or of a subset of buffers with customizable 
filtering) from which you can quickly select with buffer name completion.

`M-- C-x o' is a little easier to type.
