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'.
