Can you solder one side of an end feed 15mm elbow, then solder the other end after or do you need to do both at the same time?

It can be done, but why?

Be prepared to clean both pipe and fitting before fluxing and soldering the second side.

YES it can be done , do it quite regularly when i dont want one bit to move but want to be able adjust other side to get it to sit/look spot on
 
I’m only asking out of curiosity, the op said “end feed” so why would it need a wet rag on the other end?
 
Why does it matter if it melts?
It was molten when the joint was made, it's not going anywhere in a hurry.

End feed or solder ring, it makes no difference - keeping the already soldered end cool, stops it moving or later leaking.
