双重订单,限制后1

I've got columns like:

counter | name | date | data

I would like to sort like this

SELECT * FROM monitor order by counter DESC LIMIT $howmuch; 

That gives me last ten($howmuch) records by counter but i want later order again but by name;

I've tried something like

order by counter,name

or

order by name,counter

But none of above gave me what i wanted Basically I want 10 last records sorted by name.
