Maximize a number considering permutations with values smaller than limit

Given two numbers N and M. Construct maximal number by permuting (changing order) the digits of N, not exceeding M. 
Note: It is allowed to leave N as it is.
Examples:

Input : N = 123, M = 222 
Output : 213 
There are total 3! permutations possible for N = 123, But the only permutation that satisfies the given condition is 213. Similarly, In example 2, there are total 4! permutations possible for N = 3921, But the only permutation that satisfies the given condition is 9321.
Input : N = 3921, M = 10000 
Output : 9321 

Approach: Let’s construct the answer digit by digit starting from the leftmost. We are asked to build a lexicographically maximal answer. So in this order, we should choose the greatest digit on each step. The approach is to iterate over all possible digits starting from the greatest. For each digit check if it’s possible to put it in this position and compare the resulting number with the number M. If it comes less than or equal to the value of M, then proceed to the next digit.
Below is the CPP implementation of the above approach: 

CPP

// CPP program to Maximize the given number.
#include <bits/stdc++.h>

using namespace std;

// Function to maximize the number N with
// limit as M.
string maximizeNumber(string N, int M)
{
    // Sorting the digits of the
    // number in increasing order.
    sort(N.begin(), N.end());

    for (int i = 0; i < N.size(); i++) {
        for (int j = i + 1; j < N.size(); j++) {

            // Copying the string into another
            // temp string.
            string t = N;

            // Swapping the j-th char(digit)
            // with i-th char(digit)
            swap(t[j], t[i]);

            // Sorting the temp string
            // from i-th pos to end.
            sort(t.begin() + i + 1, t.end());

            // Checking if the string t is
            // greater than string N and less
            // than or equal to the number M.
            if (stoll(t) > stoll(N) && stoll(t) <= M)

                // If yes then, we will permanently
                // swap the i-th char(or digit)
                // with j-th char(digit).
                swap(N[i], N[j]);
        }
    }

    // Returns the maximized number.
    return N;
}

// Driver function
int main()
{
    string N = "123";
    int M = 222;
    cout << maximizeNumber(N, M);
    return 0;
