The general principle guiding what data we choose to display and how we group the data is as follows:

 

Is the data logically grouped inside the PE file?

This covers data that is in the structure of the PE file, such as File Headers, Optional Headers, Sections, etc.

 

Is the data logically grouped from the perspective of the user of the software?

This covers data such as debugging symbols.

 

There have been a few areas where we've blended data together to either compress the display (the File Header section has a few additional entries) or to synthesize extra information not expressly provided by the PE file format but which can be determined from the data in the PE file (the Additional Information section is an example of this).
