There are two steps needed. First is to display the page the new row is added to. The apge is determined by the table sorting. Second is to find the input of the new row and use jQuery focus() to focus the input.

To go to the page of the new row you can use the page.jumpToData() plugin or the row().show() plugin. You can find these plugins here.

The row.add() API returns the row that was added. You can then use row().node() to get the node then find the input to focus. Updated example:
