select2 as first field does not show focus

reference http://live.datatables.net/danosiyo/1/edit

I have a similar form in my application, with select2 as first field and date as 2nd field. I would like the first field to be focused, but don't see the easy way to do this. The calendar pop-up is a bit jarring when the form is displayed, and the user has to manually click on the first field.

I tried following suggestion in https://editor.datatables.net/reference/api/field().focus() comment to no avail. Not sure best way to put in form-options as you suggest. Shouldn't there be editor initialization option which defines focus? I think this is select2 anomaly because when I tried just type:'select' the focus defaulted to the first field as expected.

editor.on('open', function() {
    editor.field( 'position' ).focus();
});
