How long after adding the sorbate and metabisulfite do you have to wait to sweeten and bottle?
 
It depends on how much yeast there still is. It doesn't kill it, just makes it unable to reproduce. If you racked and then treated, it should be good, but you can always use your hydrometer to make sure.
