月ごとにグループ化し、特定の月に値がない場合にゼロを返す方法は？

すべての月の表を作成してから、left join あなたのテーブルへ：

SELECT MONTHNAME(m.month) AS mName, 
    MONTH(m.month) AS mOrder, 
    ifnull(sum(amount),0) AS total_num 
from months m
left join income i
on m.month = i.date

GROUP BY mOrder 
ORDER BY mOrder DESC

monthsを作成したくない場合 次に、次のことができます。

(select STR_TO_DATE('01/01/2016', '%d/%m/%Y') as month union 
 select STR_TO_DATE('01/02/2016', '%d/%m/%Y') as month union 
 select STR_TO_DATE('01/03/2016', '%d/%m/%Y') as month union 
 select STR_TO_DATE('01/04/2016', '%d/%m/%Y') as month union 
 select STR_TO_DATE('01/05/2016', '%d/%m/%Y') as month union 
 select STR_TO_DATE('01/06/2016', '%d/%m/%Y') as month union 
 select STR_TO_DATE('01/07/2016', '%d/%m/%Y') as month union 
 select STR_TO_DATE('01/08/2016', '%d/%m/%Y') as month union 
 select STR_TO_DATE('01/09/2016', '%d/%m/%Y') as month union 
 select STR_TO_DATE('01/10/2016', '%d/%m/%Y') as month union 
 select STR_TO_DATE('01/11/2016', '%d/%m/%Y') as month union 
 select STR_TO_DATE('01/12/2016', '%d/%m/%Y') as month)
