I've created a multi-line title and I need a second string of text right aligned on the second line:
t = title({['\fontsize{14}','First line'];['\fontsize{10}',sprintf('Second line left aligned %s',stringarray),'Second line right aligned']},'FontWeight','Normal');
I'm striking out on how to do this. Should I create another line of text and try to find the position of the title then right align? Or is there a way to do this within a multi-line title?

In Matlab R2020b or later, you can use the subtitle() function along with the TitleHorizontalAlignment and LabelHorizontalAlignment properties.

Thanks for introducing the subtitle() function, which may be helpful in many other applications. However, it won't help if we want to have part of string to be aligned left and other aligned right as OP asked.

figure;
plot(randn(10,1))
t = title({['\fontsize{14}','First line']; ...
' '}, ...
'FontWeight','Normal');
axPos = get(gca, 'Position');
xl =xlim;
%t.Position(1) = xl(2);
text(xl(1), t.Position(2), 'Second Line Left Aligned', ...
'HorizontalAlignment', 'left', 'VerticalAlignment', 'bottom');
text(xl(2), t.Position(2), 'Second Line Right Aligned', ...
'HorizontalAlignment', 'right', 'VerticalAlignment', 'bottom');
set(gca, 'Position',axPos);
