Custom Report layout

All,
I've been looking into this for some time without success.
I do have a report which I currently generate in xls.
The report layout is fixed and this is where I'm blocked by using Power BI.
The report shows different regions and different phases in a project.
Initially we get a request, once we start looking into the request it moves to analyse and then further up via -> develop -> create - > Validate -> Implemented
During this chain at any time it could receive a stutus on hold or get rejected.

I have all excel data in a table which is available in Power BI as well.
My issue is about the report creation and layout.

In excel I can put the headers (Validate/Create/Develop/Analyse) in the order I need, I can add a totals row which sums all active cases, I can put all non-active ones below this totals row.

How can I achieve the same report lay-out as in the picture? Is it possible at all?
Some quick guidance or reference would be highly appreciated.
From what I have experianced, Power BI represents the data in a kind of pivot like way which sorts (ie. A-> Z) and does not add a totals row in the middle of a table.
