I understand the concern. To be fair, I didn't check whether the main executable coming first is something we rely on, but I'm pretty sure we are: we'll need it to create the target. I didn't want to mess with that and risk introducing a bug that way. It took me quite some time to figure out this was an issue when parsing the symbol data. If we don't want to break that assumption, there's nothing more efficient than keeping a second list of references. I also think it makes sense to keep that in the JSON parser, because the index of (parsed) image is only something that makes sense for that format because it cross references images based on their index. That's not the case in the textual or parser crashlogs.  

FWIW this is the code that moves the main image to the top, invalidating the image indexes of every image before it:

```
    def set_main_image(self, identifier):
        for i, image in enumerate(self.images):
            if image.identifier == identifier:
                self.images.insert(0, self.images.pop(i))
                break
```
