$\begingroup$ It still can be a bug, as author could erroneously think that Matlab has a problem with first pair of indices. $\endgroup$

$\begingroup$ @Dims Please contact Wolfram Support and let them know about this problem (then tell us what they said). $\endgroup$

$\begingroup$ @Dims I think it does make sense in a way because MATLAB often presents 3D arrays (conceptually) as a "list of pages/slices" where each page is a matrix. That's also how it displays them. The way Import handles the data conforms with that view: we get a list of the same matrices in Mathematica as we saw at the MATLAB command line. Except that MATLAB uses the last index for the pages while Mathematica uses the first. $\endgroup$

$\begingroup$ @Dims Of course once one starts looking at higher dimensional arrays, this does not generalize very well. That's why we did not make this choice in MATLink (but that was a long time ago and I forgot most of the discussions). I guess the most intuitive index handling depends on the specific application. I prefer MATLink's. $\endgroup$
