Sourdough does not need kneading twice. Once is enough. I do
it by hand. Knead well once, allow to rise a tiny bit and then shape.
My mother, who is in her 90's uses her bread maker to knead
the dough, then pulls the plug, plugs it in after the dough rises and
chooses "bake". I have no idea what make the machine is or what the
buttons actually say. It is > 10 years old.
I sort of "noticed" the way she does it when I was visiting.
So choose a bread maker that allows you to manually set it. A
fully "auto" won't let the dough rise enough.
HTH but probably doesn't....
