  property  directed  by a judgment or order to be sold is not situated in
  the county in which the judgment or order is entered,  the  judgment  or
  order  shall  also  be  entered  by the clerk of the county in which the
  property is situated upon filing  with  him  a  certified  copy  of  the
  judgment  or order.   A purchaser of the property is not required to pay
  the purchase money or accept a deed until the judgment or  order  is  so

  directs that real property shall be sold,  it  shall  be  sold  in  such
  manner  as  the  judgment  or order may direct in the county where it is
  situated by the sheriff of that county or by a referee appointed by  the
  court  for  the  purpose.  If  the property is situated in more than one
  county, it may be sold in a county in which any part is situated  unless
  the  judgment  or  order directs otherwise. If a referee is appointed to
  sell the property, the court may require him to give an  undertaking  in
  an  amount fixed by it for the proper application of the proceeds of the
  sale. The conveyance shall specify in  the  granting  clause  the  party
  whose right, title or interest is directed to be sold by the judgment or
  order and is being conveyed.
