Paul,
So you understand, the array notation Francesco originally brought up is
in order to get the DOM element you searched for.
A jQuery object is an array DOM elements even if there is only one
entry. So, if you wanted to use the browser native function .focus()
and not the jQuery helper function .focus(), you want to access the raw
DOM element. #("#orderFinder input")[0] is the same as .get(), which
does exactly what it says.
Now, as to why your original code wasn't working, animations are
asynchronous and so the script continues to run after they are started.
By using the animations callback function you can see that the next bit
of code isn't executed until the animation is completed.

By the way I solved this by putting the .focus() function in the
callback for SlideToggleUp()...

It references the first matching element. It's array notation.

Thanks for the reply, Francesco. Your suggestion didn't seem to
work-but what is the purpose of the [0] there?

Use:
$("#orderFinder input").val('')[0].focus()

I'm trying to focus the cursor in a text box at the end of a simple
animation, and it won't. The cursor shows up temporarily in the box,
then flits away...
$("#orderFinder").SlideToggleUp(250, null, 'bounceout'); // show/hide
the div
$("#orderFinder input").val('').focus(); // reset the
value and focus on the field
