The first digit can be only even, as there is no digits to the left. Also, it must not be greater then 4 Hence, only two digits can be on the first place: 2 and 4. For 4, there is only one way to construct the increasing order number:

456

For 2:
256
246, 245,
234, 235, 236.

So in total we have 7 such numbers.
