multiple functions in php and getting results after each one

Question

I have a need for a script to fire off ajax requests in a sequential order. I am building a user profile in our system. Each ajax function builds a part of the profile. After each part of the profile is done, the client will get a response, causing the script moves on to the next part. My goal is to show the progress as each part is built. Something like:

Building User.......done.

Building Email.....

And so on.

My problem here is that the ajax fires off all at once, which while expected is not sequential as needed. I don't want to use asych:false because of the known caveats. I have read about just putting the next ajax call in the success of the previous. I am trying to avoid this because there are approx 15-20 calls I will have to make. That page would be ugly to read. I am trying the array approach as it seems the cleanest.

 $(function(){
 //array of functions
 var myArray = {'buildUser':'Building User','buildEmail':'Building Email'};

 $('#result').html("");

 //loop through array
 $.each(myArray, function(key, value) {
   //build "working" line
   $('#result').append("<div id="+key+">"+value+".....</div>");
   //send request to script
   $.ajax({
     type: "POST",  
     url: "modules/userAdd/"+key+".php",
     data: "data="+data,
     success: function(result) {
       //replace "working" with "done"
       $('#'+key).html(value+".....Done");
     }
   })
 });
 });
