What alist and for which purpose?  You never explained that.

ls-lisp has the following options to adapt it to various styles:

  ls-lisp-emulation
  ls-lisp-ignore-case
  ls-lisp-use-string-collate
  ls-lisp-UCA-like-collation
  ls-lisp-dirs-first
  ls-lisp-verbosity
  ls-lisp-support-shell-wildcards
  ls-lisp-format-time-list
  ls-lisp-use-localized-time-format

I don't see how an alist could replace ls-lisp-use-string-collate.
