If you always want your top level lists to be alphabetical, there's
the almost transparent option of

\renewcommand{\theenumi}{\roman{enumi}}

And there is also the package "enumerate" by David Carlisle which
"redefines the *enumerate* environment with an optional argument
specifying the style in which the counter has to be printed" (Goossens
et al. p.58).

[...]

Finding the package that does what you want for other values of "what
you want" is left as an exercise for the masochistic reader.
