Ok so I'm curious on some trigger orders in standard interactions, I don't want to commit to building a deck if the key interactions don't work.
So first off I'm wondering if I have a qarsi high priest & catacomb sifter on the battlefield, I activate the sacrifice to manifest ability, would the manifest go on the stack then the scry trigger go on stack? Or would the scry go separately but still first?
Also with catacomb sifter & smothering abomination on the battlefield, I sacrifice a creature in which order would the abilities go on the stack? I figured it would be draw then scry on stack so as resolve would be scry then draw.

Ok, first you activate the High Priest's activated ability, putting it on the stack and paying its cost.
The cost payment triggers the Sifter's triggered ability. The ability is then put on the stack. As the activated "manifest" ability was already on the stack, the triggered "scry" ability will go on top of the other, and will therefore resolve first.
Also with catacomb sifter & smothering abomination on the battlefield, I sacrifice a creature in which order would the abilities go on the stack? I figured it would be draw then scry on stack so as resolve would be scry then draw.
Both abilities trigger from the same event, so they try to go to the stack at the same time. As you control both, you choose the order they enter the stack. So it's up to you choose between "scry then draw" and "draw then scry".

You will always end up scrying first.
This is because you place the manifest ability on the stack, and pay costs. Once you sacrifice as a cost, the scry ability will trigger, and be placed on top of the manifest ability.
Thus, scry will resolve first, and then you manifest.
Also with catacomb sifter & smothering abomination on the battlefield, I sacrifice a creature in which order would the abilities go on the stack? I figured it would be draw then scry on stack so as resolve would be scry then draw.
Both of these abilities trigger at the same time, so you will be able to order them as you choose.
