Something like this might work for you:

   Behavior::Base.define_tags do
     tag "next" do |tag|
       current = tag.locals.page
       siblings = current.siblings.sort_by { |page| page.title }
       index = siblings.index(current)
       next = siblings[index + 1]
       if next
         tag.locals.page = next
         tag.expand
       end
     end

     tag "previous" do |tag|
       current = tag.locals.page
       by = tag.attr['by'] || 'title'
       siblings = current.siblings.sort_by { |page| page.attributes[by] }
       index = siblings.index(current)
       previous = siblings[index - 1]
       if previous
         tag.locals.page = previous
         tag.expand
       end
     end
   end

This would enable you to do something like this:

   <r:next:link />

Or even:

   <r:next by="id"><a href="<r:url />">Next >></a></r:next>

The above is completely untested.
