Usage: no longer are / are no longer

I’m writing some code and as I wrote a comment I realized I don’t know which of the following forms is the correct way to phrase it:

  • The moment there no longer are any valid blocks, the loop terminates in the defrag section.
  • The moment there are no longer any valid blocks, the loop terminates in the defrag section.

Is one of the forms completely wrong and should never be used (or maybe, god forbid, both)?

And assuming at least one is correct – which one is better suited for this case?

Note: I apologize if this is a duplicate of some kind but I thought for a while and couldn’t figure out how to look for this information myself. I can’t seem to figure out how to phrase this question in a single sentence.
