Jquery-vsdoc not working using MVC4 Bundling ? and @Scripts.Render not working when included above in _Layout.cshtml?

Question

See more:

Below is the vsdoc bundle I've added to BundleConfig, and have rendered the scripts in _Layout.cshtml. Yet I couldn't get the jquery intellisense working on the views. The only way i've got it working thus far is by pasting a reference to the view where I'm using Jquery. The other thing is that even an alert box doesn't work if I render the scripts above the `</body>` in _Layout.cshtml. However, it works if I render it in the `<head>` tag. Why is it ? Any help would be greatly appreciated - thanks

**BundlesConfig**

bundles.Add(new ScriptBundle("~/bundles/jqueryIntellisense").Include(
"~/Scripts/jquery-{version}-vsdoc.js"));

**Layout**

      @Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jquery")
    @Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jqueryIntellisense")
    @Scripts.Render("~/bundles/modernizr")
    @RenderSection("scripts", required: false)
</body>
</html>
     **View**
<script>
    $(document).ready(function () { alert("hello"); });
</script>

The Scripts.Render is loading the JavaScript scripts async, so there is no way to predict if jQuery is loading first or second or last.
The solutin is to go back to the "old" way of loading the scripts:

<script type="text/javascript" src="../Scripts/jquery-1.8.2.min.js"></script>

Although it is not an elegant solution and you have to manualy update the version of the script at least this way it works.
