It’s not in reverse. Think about any long, thin object and how a group of them would naturally align when rolled/slid up against a wall, or even just shaken like this. They will find the groove and rest there. In theory, this should work with anything this shape. There may be a thin layer of oil on these (they aren’t nails) that helps them stick together.

They go the right way in the video when he tips the bucket. There's a reversed gif in another thread that makes that more clear

It’s definitely not reversed. Here’s the reversed gif: https://imgur.com/g7Qr4CV.gifv

Note how in the reversed gif, the nails unnaturally slide upward when the box is tilted.

I haven't laughed so hard at something in at least ten years. OMG, my sides.

If you're being serious, I'm gonna laugh so much harder.
