How can I stop $.post in jQuery working asynchronously?

Question

I have the following calls:

getData(0);
getData(1);
getData(2);

These call a javascript function:

function getData(Code) {
  $.post('/adminA/GetData',
                { Code: Code },
  function (data) {

The problem is that my data gets returned out of order. Is there a way that I can have the data return in order?

Answer 1

Another alternative is to use ajaxSetup

function getData(Code) {
  $.ajaxSetup({async: false});
  $.post('/adminA/GetData',{ 
        Code: Code },  function (data) {
         // Do Something
        }); 
   $.ajaxSetup({async: true}); //So as to avoid any other ajax calls made sybchrounously
}

Answer 2

You can use $.ajax instead and set async to false.
