sort json array by value jq bash

Question

I want to sort below array based on groupId such that keys with smaller groupId come first in array.

[
  {
    "groupId": 11,
    "lowerThreshold": 33,
    "target": {
      "alarm_id": 22
    },
    "thresholdPeriod": 3,
    "upperThreshold": 44
  },
  {
    "groupId": 31,
    "lowerThreshold": 33,
    "target": {
      "alarm_id": 122
    },
    "thresholdPeriod": 3,
    "upperThreshold": 44
  },
  {
    "groupId": "0",
    "target": {
      "alarm_id": "69"
    },
    "upperThreshold": "20",
    "lowerThreshold": "10",
    "thresholdPeriod": "5"
  }
]

Expectation is

[
  {
    "groupId": "0",
    "target": {
      "alarm_id": "69"

    },
    "upperThreshold": "20",
    "lowerThreshold": "10",
    "thresholdPeriod": "5"
  },
  {
    "groupId": 11,
    "lowerThreshold": 33,
    "target": {
      "alarm_id": 22
    },
    "thresholdPeriod": 3,
    "upperThreshold": 44
  },
  {
    "groupId": 31,
    "lowerThreshold": 33,
    "target": {
      "alarm_id": 122
    },
    "thresholdPeriod": 3,
    "upperThreshold": 44
  }
]

You can use sort_by like following:

jq 'sort_by(.groupId)'
