I have written this for that purpose:

#select next view to the current from a list of tags
adjacent() {
    active_tag=`wmiir read /view/name`
    index=1
    for i in "$@" ; do
        (( index += 1 ))
        if [ "$i" == "$active_tag" ]; then
            if [ $index -gt $# ]; then
                xwrite /ctl view "$1"
            else
                xwrite /ctl view "${!index}"
            fi
            return
        fi
    done
}
next() {
    adjacent `wmiir read /tags`
}
prev() {
    adjacent `wmiir read /tags | tac`
}
...
                $MODKEY-$RIGHT)
            next ;;
                $MODKEY-$DOWN)
                        xwrite /view/sel/ctl select next;;
                $MODKEY-$UP)
                        xwrite /view/sel/ctl select prev;;
...
