It's ok if the preset jump at the end after a brush edit. Even if I call it
a "mini-bug-or-feature" :-P
It can help while editing in a way, as Animtim said me on IRC  ; it's a
sort of feedback about keeping an eye on 'newly added brush' during a brush
tweaking session.

But I would really like a way to 'refresh' all resources in Krita without
close/reloading Krita ( and so, it would sort brush-preset alphabetically
after this action ).
This refresh would take into account new added pattern/textures/brush-mask.
I would imagine this feature under  Menu > Edit > Resources > Refresh.
 ( it would also help to close : Bug 325291 - [tag] new tag/group are not
accessible after creation - https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=325291  )
