Collated customer feedback from the page above:

• Is there a way to modify this page? Can I include count by custom fields?
• I'm wondering the same Thing, i have defined some custom fields, and would like to have them up on the Project's issues
• Just wondering, how do you sort the status summary for a particular project..? Do i need a plugin for this scenario..?
• I really need to change the layout of this page and add a new section, how do I customize this page?
• Looking for an answer to the question that's already been asked: can the Issues Summary be customized?
• Does anyone from Atlassian even read the feedback here? Wondering whether I should bother reasking the question that's already been asked several times. Namely, is it possible to edit the information that is shown on this page?
• Anyone ?? from atlassian ? can you provide any link to help how we can sort versions on issue report screen?
