In a previous post about this exact topic, the answer talked about the 'Order' that control tab took between workbooks and completely missed the question.
When I click control tab, it toggles between two open files but will not go to the third or fourth file like it use to. I have three files open. File 1, File 2, File 3. If I work on file 2 and then click to select file 3. I can control tab back to file 2 but I cannot control tab twice or three times to get to file 1. It only switches between 2 and 3.

Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
Try control + Shift + tab.
It could be bug that control + tab only switch the last two files. You may also Send feedback to Microsoft with the Feedback Hub app - Microsoft Support.
Hope Microsoft will improve it.
Thanks, that works for multiple files. That use to be to go the opposite direction of the last viewed. If I viewed file 1, then file 2, then file 3, Control shift tab would allow me to back up to file 2 where control tab would go to 1 (not anymore)
