So I, Player 1, used Sower of Temptation to gain control of Player 2's creature for awhile. On Player 3's turn, Player 3 casts Reins of Power on me, switching control of our creatures. To make matters worse, they then sacrificed Sower of Temptation.
So when exactly does Player 2 get their creature back? Immediately? At end of turn? Ever?

After the sacrifice of the Sower of Temptation creature they will get control of the tempted creature, at the end of the turn all creature will return their previous owner as the effect of Reins of Power will end affecting only creature that has been currently under that effect (and in addition will not give back the tempted creature)
Player 2's creature has a few control-changing effects on it.
You used sower putting it under your control
P3 used reins to gain control of both it and the sower.
So the creature is currently under P3's control.
When sower is sacked that removes that control changing effect, but the effect of reins is still active so it will stay under P3's control.
When the effect of reins ends the creature will have no control changing effects on it since the effect from both sower and reins has stopped, it will go back to P2.
Control-changing effets are all applied in layer 2 and therefore you go by timestamp order with the latest effect taking precedence.

I am not sure what you are saying here. The tempted creature will not change controller when the sower is sacced since both the sower and the other creature is under the more recent control-changing effect of reins.
Reins of power does not return cards to the previous controller (there is only one owner, the one with the card in his/her deck) at the end of turn, the control-changing effect from reins simply stops.
