According to electrochemical series, the order above elements will be, 

Ag < Cu < Fe < Zn < Mg < Na 

This order is in accordance to the E° values of t elements. Na has highest negative values of reductive potential. Hence, it is the strongest reducing agent. Ag has positive value of electrode potential and among the given series. Therefore, it is the weak reducing agent.
