SQL problem. return record id in a Group by select query?

I am being beaten by what I am sure is relatively simple SQL problem.

I have table structure of

Lineno (character)
LineType (numeric code)
ID (unique numeric id)

I want to group by Lineno and get the ID of the record with MAX(Linetype)

SELECT lineno, Max(lineType) will fetch the record but I cant see how to return the ID.
