    Because 1234567980 (your solution) is not the next bigger number after 1234567890 (the input) ???

    You can write them down:

    1234567890 # input
    1234567891 # +1
    1234567892 # +2
    ...
    1234567900 # +10
    1234567901 # +11
    ...
    1234567908 # +18, AND THE FIRST TIME WE ENCOUNTER A BIGGER NUMBER WITH THE SAME DIGITS AS THE INPUT VALUE
    ...
    1234567978 # +88
    1234567979 # +89
    1234567980 # <- your solution, which does have same digits as input, BUT is bigger than 1234567908 --^
