So if you set the shiftwidth to 2 it should work.
If I understood correctly, You can also set smarttab (:help
'smarttab') and then Vim should use the value from ts (or softtabstop)
when using the > command.

Personally I find this one of more confusing parts of Vim and have
always just set 'shiftwidth', 'tabstop' and 'softtabstop' to the same
value and further ignored the problem. It was only yesterday that i
watched this excellent Vimcast which explains everything:

Hope this helps,
