 The more + the charge, the smaller the ionic radius. Remember that - means adding electrons. These electrons go in the outermost shells. Also, when an atom loses electrons, it clings ever more tightly to the ones it has left, further reducing the ionic radius. 

Mg2+ Na+ F- O2- N3-

For isoelectronic species ionic size is directly proportional to (charge on anion)/(charge on cation) or simply calculate e/z ratio and that will give you the answer as
Mg2+
You can also think this logically as electron is added the new electron is repelled by the existing electrons and the size increases. Similarly when an electron is removed the nucleus attracts the remaining electron with greater force and the size decreases.
Hope that helps you.

correct order in ionic radius
Mg2+ Na+ F- O-2 N-3
BUT IONIC RADIUS DIRETUIY PRIPOSNEL IS NEGTIVE CHARGE

Mg+2,Na+,F-,O-2,N-3 are isoelectronic species having 10 electrons
On moving N-3 to mg +2  positive charge increase 
More the positive charge smaller the ionic radius
So order of ionic radius is 
             Mg+2
Hope it helps

1+ charge means losing an electron which automatically reduces the size of the element and in 1- charge it means gaining an electron which increases the size of the element.                                          hence the order in increasing ionic radii is                                                                                               Mg+2,Na+,F-,O-2,N-3
