I think that Is Sunday Sara �s favorite day? is the correct one, because the subject comes after the verb in a question.

 They are both correct.  There are almost always two ways to ask a question. :)

Is Sunday Sara �s favourite day?

Both are correct, I think..... BUT
For obvious reasons  of  interpretation, we avoid  separating the verb "is" and the its subject "Sunday" with a long / heavy complement

The first question is right

Sara �s favourite day is Sunday
 
To make Yes/ No question We just put the verb to be in the beginning
so the order of the words will be change to be
  Is Sara �s favourite day Sunday?
