Upon the issuance of an execution upon the judgment, the execution must direct the sheriff or levying officer to make the amount due on the judgment out of the goods and chattels, lands, and tenements of the principal debtor or debtors or, if sufficient amount cannot be found within the principal judgment debtor's county to satisfy the judgment, to levy and make the execution out of the property, personal or real, of the judgment debtor who was surety.
