Max id if multiple records exist help please!!

Hi,

i am having a hard time figuring out how to go about this.

so basically IF multiple records with the same start date exist, i have to select the one with the max(note_id)

Example
note_id/start_date
88888/08-01-2001
98788/08-01-2001 <===
55555/08-01-2001
54856/08-01-2001

in the example above, i would need to pick the one with the arrow
note_id-98788 and start_date-08-01-2001
