Personal property must be sold on execution at public auction to the highest bidder. The property sold must be offered in such parcels and items as are likely to bring the highest price. A judgment debtor may direct the order in which the parcels or items of property are to be sold by a request in writing delivered to the officer before the sale, or orally if he be present at the sale.
