How to upload 1 file at a time with multiple selection using blueimp jquery-file-upload?

I'm using blueimp's jquery-file-upload to upload mulitple photos

https://blueimp.github.io/jQuery-File-Upload/

I've created a multiple selection input box and setup the upload script:

<script>
$(function () {
    $("#upload_files").fileupload({
        autoUpload: true,
        dataType: "json",
        singleFileUploads: true,
        sequentialUploads: false,
        url: "/photos/my_upload_script",
        add: function (e, data) {

            data.submit();

        },
        progressall: function (e, data) {
            var progress = parseInt(data.loaded / data.total * 100, 10);
            $("#version_progress_bar .progress-bar").css("width",progress + "%");
        },
        done: function (e, data) {
            if(data.result.status == "success"){
                alert('well done');
            }
            else {
                alert("it's gone pete tong!");
            }
        }
    });
});
</script>

The problem I have, is my historic naming convention for uploaded photos. I'm restricted in that I must use PHP's time() function. This becomes a problem when more than one photo's upload is triggered within the same second.

So, is there a way I can get jquery-file-upload to upload each photo one-by-one but still allow multiple selections in hopes that this will prevent photos uploading within the same second?

Yes. You already have the option in your code that decides this behavior:

sequentialUploads: false,

Change that to true and you upload sequentially, one after another..

I couldn't find a way to do it within the script. So, instead, I put a 1 second sleep on my ajax script.
