A different approach may be to not loose focus to begin with. If your main problem is that your loosing focus, then instead of disabling orderBy, add this directive to your input:

app.directive("keepFocus", ['$timeout', function ($timeout) {
    /*
    Intended use:
        
    */
    return {
        restrict: 'A',
        require: 'ngModel',
        link: function ($scope, $element, attrs, ngModel) {

            ngModel.$parsers.unshift(function (value) {
                $timeout(function () {
                    $element[0].focus();
                });
                return value;
            });

        }
    };
}])

Then just:

I know this does not directly answer you question, but it might help solve the underlying problem.
