It's not that complicated really.
Basically it's the scale starting on different pitches of the scale
So the D Dorian scale is
DEFGABCD
So dorian is minor, but also dominant, because the D major scale is DEF#GABC#D---so it has the flat 3rd and flat 7th
But another cool thing is the way chords are made up.
I mean how a major triad is a major third, then a minor third
and a minor triad is a minor third, then a major third
and augmented is major 3rd, major 3rd
and diminished is minor 3rd minor 3rd.
Et cetera, etc.
