I've heard enough testimonials to think it will work. I've never understood why you'd do it in that order though. You're only going to get more yeast floating around when you carbonate, so why not do the cold crash after bottle conditioning?

should i bring the beer back up to temp before i fill the bottles?

I have a question. If I were to do a cold crash and then immediately bottle while the beer is cold (38 - 40 F), shouldn't I adjust my priming sugar level? I ask cause the one time I did a cold crash and bottled it cold, it was way over carbed.
Apart from yeast dropping out, what about chill haze. Most of my beers have chill haze (not sure why, as I use Whirlfloc and chill rapidly) - I never worry about it because after a few weeks being cold the haze drops out and the beer is crystal clear. But I've heard that if you cycle the beer cold to warm to cold the chill haze can become permanent (not sure how many cycles needed for that to happen, if it really does). But could this be a problem if you cold crash and bottle and let the bottles warm up to condition, or, in my case, if I cold crash, then transfer to keg and carbonate, then bottle from the keg and want to store the bottles warm for lack of space in the fridge?

if i cold crash, at say 40, for two or three days, you are saying there will be enough yeast to carbonate (though it may take twice as long)?
when i cold crash my 1-2l yeast starter for 3 days, it looks like 95% of the yeast settle (heck it looks like 99%).
(if i cold crash an dont get carbonation, i'm gonna hunt you all down and force you to drink my beer!:fro: )
