How this list was put together
Stated totals: gta.wiki 101 ("29 in Los Santos incl. opening, 14 countryside incl. four Catalina prologue missions, 26 in San Fierro incl. one driving school and seven asset missions"); gtabase 100 in its text and 101 numbered rows (the four Catalina prologue missions merged with their robberies); pushsquare 101; bloxodes 101; grandtheftwiki 104; sportskeeda "over 100" (105 story names). This file lists 105 rows because the Catalina prologue missions are split out; merging those four pairs gives 101.
Structure by region: Los Santos -> Countryside/Badlands -> San Fierro -> Desert -> Las Venturas -> return to Los Santos. The Green Sabre opens the countryside; Are You Going to San Fierro? opens San Fierro; Yay Ka-Boom-Boom opens the desert and Las Venturas.
Order follows gta.wiki numbering (also used by bloxodes and sportskeeda); gtabase and pushsquare order some parallel strands differently. REQUIRED follows gtabase flags; the heist strand being optional is also stated by gta-sanandreas.com. Zero RC and Wang Cars strands are asset strands (gta.wiki: seven San Fierro missions tied to two assets).
Most missions outside the listed cash rewards pay Respect only. gta.wiki could only be read up to The Da Nang Thang (page cut off), so later rows rest on gtabase + bloxodes (+ sportskeeda/pushsquare for names and order).
