How to Run e2e tests on multiple browsers in series?

Question

I am running e2e tests using Protractor on a VM through azure. I want to run tests on multiple browsers, which Protractor allows me to do by adding a list like this (from the protractor.config file):

multiCapabilities: [
   {'browserName': 'internet explorer'},
   {'browserName': 'chrome'}
]

And I can add more browsers to that list. However, when protractor launches it runs both browsers in parallel, which is great for saving time but I believe it is too much for this VM to handle and is causing some tests to timeout. How can I tell protractor to run the test on each browser I specify in series rather than parallel?

  {'browserName': 'internet explorer'},
  {'browserName': 'chrome'}
],
