This is a known JDK bug. It is addressed in this question pretty thoroughly from the java perspective.

When it comes to Matlab, you options seem to be (apart from upgrading Matlab and/or OS):

  1. Add the following JVM startup option through java.opts file:

    -Djava.util.Arrays.useLegacyMergeSort=true

  2. Use a different java version by setting MATLAB_JAVA environmental variable. It may result in all sorts of side-effects, depending on which Matlab / Java combination you end up using.
