Sec. 2. (a) Before delivering a writ for the collection of fees, costs, or execution to the proper officer, the clerk of the supreme court shall endorse on the writ which of the parties is the principal and which is the surety in the writ.

(b) The officer responsible for enforcement of the writ shall first levy upon the property of the principal in the writ.
