As did most people / as most people did

As I read in a English book, I saw the sentence: I supposed, as did most people, that I would be retiring at 60. I want to know if the following sentence is correct: I supposed, as most people did, that I would be retiring at 60.. And if that sentence is grammatically correct, is it has the same meaning with the first sentence?

I think both clauses are correct. The one with the inversion (as did most people) is found in formal language.
