>>  2. We tried to sort methods so the more specific returns types come first, this was done because our logic for selecting the correct method did not work properly.

>> The second issue above was fixed by the separate change [JDK-8196373](https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8196373) so now we only need to sort the list of methods in any order and do not care about return types.
