Maintain order of requests when making several ajax callbacks

ajax, jquery

Solution

The answer to this ended up being a jQuery plugin called ajaxManager. This did exactly what I needed:

Problem

I'm looping through several items and making an ajax request for each of them (using jQuery). I want them to execute independently, but populate into the DOM in the order they were called, not the order they are returned (for some reason some requests are taking longer than others). Any tips on the best practice for this type of thing?
