"Opus magnum" is the expression, although it might sound less pedantic to simply use "masterpiece", or perhaps French "chef d'oeuvre" -and the fact of using the adjective after the noun (opus = piece/work ; magnum = big/main) is natural neither in English nor in Latin itself.
Magnum Opus;
Magnum = great, magnificent, amazing
Opus = work, function, operation

Yes, I agree with all the other scholars, it is 'magnum opus' or 'opus magnum' (word order doesn't change the meaning).
