Thank you @Chance-fyi for reporting issues. It helps daisyUI a lot 💚
I'll be working on issues one by one. I will help with this one as soon as a I find a solution.
In the meantime providing more details and reproduction links would be helpful.

HTML <dialog> element is a top-layer element. it means it's outside of <html> tag so you can't put things from <html> tag on top of it.

To show a drawer sidebar on top of the modal you can use the checkbox method of modal:

Or you can use 2 <dialog> modals, one of them placed on the side (looks like a sidebar)

But I would't advice doing this in the first place. It's not a good UX. Modals, popovers, dropdown menus, etc. are unstable parts of design. They get open because of an interaction and get closed with another interaction. It's not a good idea to nest them inside each other because when multiple unstable sections are open inside each other, their behavior would be unpredictable for the user.

Instead, I would suggest using tabs to conditionally show different parts or restructure your UI in a way that wouldn't require opening modals and drawers and dropdowns inside each other.

Let me know if you have a question.
