complex sorting sql

I have the following table

Priority  Time
100        1
 86        3
 85        2

I want to sort it by first by priority and then by time, however, priority differce within 20 points are treated the same. e.g. 100 and 85 are considered as the same priority level. so the result will be:

Priority  Time
    100        1
     85        2
     86        3

Thanks,

Try this (assuming that priority is an integer)

select * 
from foobar
order by ( priority / 20 ) , -- 0-19 yields 0 , 20-39 yields 1, etc.
         time
