But that natural process is not what happened here? Needles don’t fall off trees and line themselves up neatly into rows like the picture.

They're just being placed in some kind of order, visually, but it doesn't mean the same as "order" in the entropic sense.

As the other person said, the process need not be natural.

A process increasing entropy in a system doesn't have to be natural.
