Formatting of Balance Sheet and Profit & Loss Reports

Formatting of Balance Sheet and Profit & Loss Reports

The default format of the Balance Sheet and P&L Reports are based on the Account Types and then the individual accounts within the Chart of Accounts. These are then ordered alphabetically under these sub-headings and one is unable to re-order these or create sub-groups within these reports.
I tried by adding account Numbers / Codes but there is no function to sort based on these codes.
I also tried by creating Parent Accounts and Sub Accounts, but this is incomplete as the System Accounts for Accounts Receivable, Accounts payable, Bad Debt, etc are not able to be assigned a Parent Account.

The creation of the Parent Account may also be flawed as I think it may be possible to post entries into the Parent a/c's, which is not what we would like to see.

Another issue with the reports is that if a comparative period is selected, this is displayed as the 1st column rather than to the right of the main reporting period and it does not appear that this can be changed. I could re-order other columns but not the $ columns.
