Solution

Sodium belongs to group 1, which is the most reactive family of metals.

Calcium belongs to group 2, which is the second most reactive family of metals.

Iron is a transition metal and it is less reactive.

Neon belongs to group 18 i.e. the noble gas family. Noble gases are inert.

Therefore, the increasing order of reactivity is:
Ne < Fe < Ca < Na
