This will not work. wincmd w does the same thing as CTRL-W w, which
will jump to a specific WINDOW, in top-to-bottom, left-to-right order.
It does NOT jump to the window containing a specific BUFFER.

Instead, you should make use of the 'switchbuf' option (set to
"useopen") and the :sbuffer command, or simply use the :drop command.

See the :help on each topic:

:help 'switchbuf'
:help :sbuffer
:help :drop
