The provided information is not sufficient to provide any help. A complete and detailed description is required to get a clear understanding of the problem.
You should explain what you do, what are the results you expect to get and what you actually get.

The columns are no status values.
There is a classification of status values into open, resolved and closed. (influenced by setting $g_bug_resolved_status_threshold)
It would not make sense to have a matrix of status values.
Imagine how your second screenshot "By Status" would look like.
I am quite sure there is no row for status "hold" in section "By Status" because there are no issues with that status.

You have to change function summary_print_by_enum in file core/summary_api.php if you want to change the columns.

The time I can invest to support users on MantisBT forum is limited. I can't provide such kind of help.
You have to learn PHP and/or find a developer that can support you if you need such a specifing customization.
Maybe another user can help.
