"Windows" menu

There should be a "Windows" menu, or something like it, that allows you to easily switch to a particular buffer with a couple keystrokes.
I know that you can do the "CTRL-PAGEUP" kind of stuff, but you're reliant upon the (seemingly random) order in which the buffers are stored. With a "Windows" menu, each open buffer would be assigned a number, and if you want to get to, say, buffer 3, you do an "ALT-W 3". See Ultraedit for an example.
Incidentally, why are the buffers stored in a seemingly random order, rather than in the order in which they were opened? In particular, I'm using the BufferTabs plugin, which may or may not have something to do with this.
