A money list sorted by size says who is rich. Drawn in time order it says something the list cannot: whether this is a career going up, a career that peaked, or one good year doing the work of five.
Which tier of the tour pays I-Ching Cheng
The same career split by the kind of event
A Feeder week and a Grand Smash week are the same amount of table tennis and nothing like the same amount of money. One Smash quarter-final is worth more than a whole season of Feeder finals, so where a player spends their year matters more to this figure than how deep they go in it.

A round on this table is the deepest one I-Ching Cheng reached at that event, not the deepest one they won: losing a quarter-final is a quarter-finalist's cheque. Where the row is a doubles draw the figure is this player's half of a rung the pair collected together.

A doubles rung is one cheque for two players. The figure here is this player's half of it, which is why a doubles pair's two pages carry the same number and the published ladder carries twice it.
