Why do the images ever need to get focus? What can the user do with a
focussed image?

You could have the script that randomly sorts the rows tell you the id
of the first image (as presumably it knows the id of the first row).
Or if you know the number of images preceeding the random rows then
document.images[n].focus() where n is the number of preceeding images.
