If you look closely, the entire line of Orcs in the front drop their pikes and shield their eyes just as Gandalf, Eomer, and the Rohirrim crash into them, because the Sun suddenly becomes blindingly visible above the Riders once they reach slightly leveler ground. So there was nothing quirky involved there, you just need to have a good, quick eye.
