Execution may be issued on the judgment, as ordered by the court. All prior and subsequent mortgage creditors whose names are or can be discovered by the party foreclosing a mortgage, shall be made parties to the action. Mortgage creditors shall be entitled to payment according to the priority of their liens and in accordance with other provisions of section 3.
